How does mediation work in Clay County?

Seated in Clay, Clay County belongs to the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit along with Braxton, Gilmer and Webster Counties, and to the Sixteenth Family Court Circuit along with Nicholas County.[2] When parents cannot settle a parenting plan, W. Va. Code § 48-9-202 directs the family court to require mediation unless pre-mediation screening rules it out.[3][1] The hourly rate depends on combined gross income, from $65 (under $30,000) to $180 ($100,000 and above) on the uniform statewide sliding scale; parents with an approved affidavit of indigency are not charged.[4] In circuit court, statewide Trial Court Rule 25 lets a judge refer a civil case to mediation; absent the parties' choice within 15 days, the court designates one from the State Bar listing.[5] All 9 mediators shown are on the Court-Approved Family Court Mediators list for Clay County.[1]
