Sources · last reviewed 2026-10-07Court programs and when mediation is required

These programs must require mediation of custody and visitation issues, but a court may exclude a case for good cause, such as a history of child abuse or domestic violence [1].
Who can mediate in Nevada courts
Each program sets minimum education, training, apprenticeship and continuing education standards for its mediators [1].
Cost
The mediator may tell the court only whether the dispute was resolved, fees follow a sliding scale based on ability to pay, and the court may refer the parties to a private mediator [1].
