How does mediation work in Dickson County?
In Dickson County, the Clerk & Master works as the Chancery Court's chief administrative assistant, maintaining its docket, minutes and court records [1]. That office receives a wide range of civil filings, among them divorce, custody, child support, adoption, contract and property cases [1]. The county's court page covers its Chancery, Circuit and General Sessions courts and posts a participant referral form for the local Mental Health Court [1]. Rule 31 lets mediation costs, including the mediator's fee, be charged as court costs when the mediator asks, and the judge may reduce or waive them [2]. Mediators shown for Dickson County are drawn from the AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [3].

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.
