Mediators who work online with Ohio clients
No mediator from another state has told us they work online with Ohio clients in this practice area yet. Local mediators may also offer video sessions; ask when you contact them.
Court-ordered case? Courts may require a mediator from their own approved list for court-ordered cases. Check your court’s rules, or see how mediation works in Ohio.
Court-connected mediation in Ohio: Ohio courts that use mediation set their own local rules. The Supreme Court's rules require court-referred mediators to complete approved training, with extra degree, experience and training requirements for family, juvenile and child-protection referrals.
Private mediation in Ohio: The Supreme Court of Ohio states that neither the state nor the Court licenses or certifies mediators, and completing an approved training does not make someone a 'Supreme Court certified mediator.' No rule on online or out-of-state mediators was found.
