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].
