How does mediation work in Davidson County?
Davidson County is in Tennessee's 20th Judicial District, where an eight-division Circuit Court is the primary trial court for civil cases in Nashville and Davidson County, covering contract and injury suits, workers' compensation, domestic relations and estate administration [1]. Family cases go to the Fourth Circuit Court (Circuit Court, Division IV), which the General Assembly created in 1957 and which is the only Davidson County court specifically designated for divorces, custody, child support, adoptions, juvenile court appeals and other domestic matters [2]. Some mediators listed below sit on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee's ADR panel [3], but most come from the Tennessee AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [4].

Mediators who work online with Tennessee clients
These mediators say they work with Tennessee clients online. They are on other states’ official rosters (shown on each listing), not Tennessee’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 Tennessee.
Court-connected mediation in Tennessee: When a Tennessee court orders Rule 31 mediation and the parties don't pick a listed Rule 31 mediator together, the judge names three from the AOC's statewide list and each side strikes one name.
Private mediation in Tennessee: Rule 31 says its standards cover only mediations and mediators under that rule, not private mediation outside it. The ADR Commission may waive training for a mediator approved and in good standing in another state.
