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].

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.
