How does mediation work in Wisconsin?
Sources · last reviewed 2026-10-07Court programs and when mediation is required
The parties must attend at least one mediation session unless the court finds it would cause undue hardship or endanger a party's health or safety [1]. In civil cases, a judge may order the parties to select a settlement alternative such as mediation, and if they cannot agree on who will provide it, the judge may appoint a person [2].
Family and custody cases
In Wisconsin family cases where legal custody or physical placement is contested, the court refers the parties to the county director of family court services for possible mediation [1]. Mediation must be provided in every county, through a county family court services office, a multi-county office, or contracted mediators [1]. Assigned mediators need at least 25 hours of mediation training or 3 years of professional dispute resolution experience, plus training on domestic violence [1].
