How does mediation work in Gibson County?
Gibson County's Chancery Court is part of the 28th Judicial District, and the county keeps two Clerk and Master offices, one in Trenton and one in Humboldt [1][2]. The district's chancery rules, revised in March 2021, also list Clerk and Master offices in Alamo and Brownsville for neighboring Crockett and Haywood counties [3]. Those rules call for the statewide parenting plan form created by the Administrative Office of the Courts [3]. Rule 31 entitles listed mediators to reasonable pay for court-ordered mediations, except in pro bono matters [4]. Mediators below are drawn from the AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [5], and two also appear in the Western District of Tennessee's Mediator Profile Directory [6].

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.
