How does mediation work in Pleasants County?

Pleasants County, whose seat is St. Marys, is part of the Third Judicial Circuit (with Doddridge, Ritchie and Wirt Counties) and the Third Family Court Circuit (with Wood County).[3] State law makes mediation the next step when parents cannot agree on a parenting plan, unless the family court office's screening finds it inappropriate.[2][1] A uniform statewide sliding scale, effective June 1, 2026, sets the hourly rate by combined gross income, from $65 below $30,000 to $180 at $100,000 or more; parents with an approved affidavit of indigency pay nothing.[4] Under statewide Trial Court Rule 25, circuit judges may refer civil cases to mediation; parties have 15 days to choose a mediator before the court designates one from the State Bar listing.[5] Listed mediators come from the court-approved family court mediator list for Pleasants County.[1]
