How does mediation work in Gilmer County?

Circuit cases from Gilmer County, seated in Glenville, are heard in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, which also covers Braxton, Clay and Webster Counties; family cases go to the Fourth Family Court Circuit with Calhoun, Ritchie and Roane Counties.[2] If parents cannot agree on a parenting plan, state law requires the family court to order mediation unless screening shows it is inappropriate.[3][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; absent the parties' choice within 15 days, the court selects one from the State Bar's list.[5] Listed mediators are on the court-approved family court mediator list for Gilmer County.[1]
