How does mediation work in Summit County?

The Summit County Domestic Relations Court offers in-house mediation to help parents in divorce or parentage cases reach agreements on custody and parenting time [1]. The court's mediators handle only the children's issues, not finances, and the court notes that attorney mediators in the community can help couples with financial issues [1]. According to the court, its in-house mediation programs are covered by filing fees, and agreements are written up as a Memorandum of Understanding for the court or the parties' attorneys [1]. The mediators listed below are members of the Northern District of Ohio's ADR Federal Court Panel [2].

These mediators say they work with Ohio clients online. They are on other states’ official rosters (shown on each listing), not Ohio’s. Where they serve is their own statement. Sorted: placements first (paid ones are labeled), then most complete profile.

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.
