How is the person that serves as the mediator chosen?
Normally, the parties agree on a mediator relying on their attorney’s recommendation. The court will appoint a mediator if the parties cannot agree. The person chosen must have completed specialized training both as a mediator and in family law to be qualified as a mediator. Some counties have Dispute Resolution Centers that offer mediations at rates below those charged by private mediators but some of these mediators are not attorneys which may be problematical.
