How does mediation work in Butler County?
In Butler County's Court of Common Pleas, a custody complaint or modification petition filed with the Prothonotary leads to a custody conciliation conference.[2] The Custody Conciliator, whose office sits within but is not part of the Domestic Relations Section, helps the parties reach an agreement and, if they cannot, sends a report and recommendation to the assigned judge.[2] For civil cases, Local Rule 212.1(f) sets up a voluntary Butler County Mediation Program that the parties enter by jointly filing an agreement to mediate.[3] The assigned judge selects the mediator from a Prothonotary list of Butler County Bar attorneys admitted at least ten years with a civil litigation focus, and each party pays a mediation fee set by administrative order.[3] Mediators listed below appear in the federal Western District of Pennsylvania's ADR neutral search.[1]
