How does mediation work in Madison County?

Madison County shares Tennessee's 26th Judicial District with Chester and Henderson counties, and one Chancellor presides over the district's Chancery Court [1]. Its docket covers divorce, custody and child support, the division of marital property and termination of parental rights, plus will contests, land and contract disputes and workers' compensation [1]. Chancery and Circuit Courts share jurisdiction over most civil actions triable in Circuit Court, apart from certain claims for unliquidated injury or property damages [2]. The county's Circuit Court Clerk keeps records for civil cases above $25,000 [3]. Our mediators here come from the AOC Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [4], and two also appear in the Western District of Tennessee federal court's Mediator Profile Directory [5].

No mediator from another state has told us they work online with Tennessee clients in this practice area yet. Local mediators may also offer video sessions; ask when you contact them.

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.
