How does mediation work in Franklin County?

Franklin County's family cases are heard by the Court of Common Pleas, Division of Domestic Relations and Juvenile Branch, at 373 South High Street in Columbus [1]. Its Dispute Resolution Department offers court-connected mediation by staff and contract mediators, private mediation, twice-yearly Settlement Weeks with rate-capped private mediators, and parenting coordination [1]. The court compiles a Private Mediation Roster of mediators who meet the Supreme Court's training rules for divorce, custody and support cases; parties who cannot afford private mediation may use the court's Mediation Services Program at no additional cost [2]. Most mediators listed below come from the October 2026 roster [3].

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.
