How does mediation work in Salt Lake County?
Salt Lake County is served by Utah's Third Judicial District Court, which also covers Summit and Tooele counties [1]. When an answer is filed in a divorce, Utah's Divorce Mediation Program refers the remaining contested issues to mediation; parties choose and pay a mediator qualified on the court's ADR roster, and those who cannot afford one may ask the ADR Office for help through the Divorce Mediation Help Line, 1-800-620-6318 [2]. In district court civil cases, UCJA Rule 4-510.05 refers cases to the ADR program after a responsive pleading unless the court excuses the parties [3]. The mediators below are on the Utah State Courts' Court Roster of Mediators and Arbitrators [4].
