How does mediation work in Wilson County?
Wilson County, part of Tennessee's Fifteenth Judicial District, has its own family court, General Sessions Division III, which handles domestic relations cases, child support and protective orders [1][2]. Its 2022 local rules require lawyers to tell clients that mediation is mandatory under Tennessee law unless the judge waives it in a contested case [2]. The same rule has each party in any parenting-time case, juvenile cases included, file its own proposed Permanent Parenting Plan on the newest AOC form [2]. The elected Circuit Court Clerk processes Juvenile, General Sessions and Circuit filings [3]. Mediators below come from the AOC's Rule 31 listing as of October 2026 [4]; one is also on the Middle District of Tennessee's ADR panel [5].

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.
