How does mediation work in Vermont?

Sources · last reviewed 2026-10-07

  • Court programs and when mediation is required

    Most civil cases in Vermont require the parties to try mediation, with exceptions such as small claims, foreclosures and evictions [1]. Under Rule 16.3 of the Vermont Rules of Civil Procedure, the parties must file a stipulation naming a specific mediator, who need not be an attorney, within thirty days of the last answer; otherwise the court may appoint one [1]. Foreclosure mediation works differently: the Vermont Bar Association offers the parties three mediators to choose from [1].

  • Cost

    The parties share the mediator's fees equally unless they agree or the court orders otherwise [1]. In family cases, the Superior Court's Family Mediation Program contracts with roster mediators who carry liability insurance, charge on a uniform sliding fee scale, and meet minimum training and experience requirements [2].
