How does mediation work in Fayette County?

Fayette County, seated in Fayetteville, makes up the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit on its own and is the only county in the Fourteenth Family Court Circuit.[3] State law has the family court order mediation when parents cannot agree on a parenting plan, unless pre-mediation screening shows it is inappropriate.[2][1] Fees are hourly on the statewide sliding scale: $65 (combined gross income below $30,000) to $180 ($100,000 or more); parents with an approved affidavit of indigency pay nothing.[4] Under statewide Trial Court Rule 25, a circuit judge may refer a civil case to mediation; if the parties agree on no mediator within 15 days, the court designates one from the State Bar listing.[5] Every mediator listed below is on the court-approved family court mediator list for Fayette County.[1]
