How does mediation work in New Hampshire?

  • Court programs and when mediation is required

    New Hampshire's judicial branch has an Office of Mediation and Arbitration, created by statute to guide, promote and support alternative dispute resolution programs in all courts [1]. The office can also facilitate voluntary pre-suit mediation or arbitration, under Supreme Court rules, in cases that would otherwise be filed in the trial courts [1]. Mediators and other neutrals under contract with the judicial branch are immune from civil liability unless they acted willfully [1].

  • Family and custody cases

    For divorce and parenting cases, state law creates a Board of Family Mediator Certification [2]. To be certified as a family mediator, an applicant must complete a board-approved training program of at least 48 hours, including 8 hours on domestic violence, plus a 20-hour internship and three recommendations [2]. Only people certified under the law may call themselves certified family mediators [2].
