How does mediation work in Barbour County?

Circuit cases from Barbour County, seated in Philippi, are heard in the Twenty-Third Judicial Circuit, which also covers Taylor County; family cases go to the Twenty-First Family Court Circuit with Taylor County.[3] If parents cannot agree on a parenting plan, state law requires the family court to order mediation unless screening shows it is inappropriate.[2][1] Fees are hourly under a uniform statewide scale: $65 for combined gross income under $30,000, up to $180 at $100,000 and above; parents with an approved affidavit of indigency pay nothing.[4] For civil matters, statewide Trial Court Rule 25 permits referral to mediation; when the parties have not chosen a mediator within 15 days, the court selects one from the State Bar's list.[5] The mediators listed below are on the Supreme Court's court-approved family court mediator list for Barbour County.[1]
