How does mediation work in Cumberland County?

Cumberland County's trial court is the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, listed by the state court system as judicial district 9, at the courthouse in Carlisle [1][2]. When a custody complaint, petition to modify or contempt petition is filed, the Court Administrator's Office schedules a custody conciliation under local rule 1915 [3]. A conciliator helps parents reach an agreement; if they do, the conciliator sends a proposed consent order to the court, and if not, recommends an interim order and a hearing [3]. No witnesses or court reporter take part [3]. Most mediators listed below are on the federal Middle District's certified list [4].
