Mediation - Family Court
In any family court proceeding where there is a dispute regarding the care and custody of children, the State of Wisconsin requires that the parties involved be referred to a certified mediator to facilitate a resolution. Each month there are two general introduction presentations held describing the mediation program. These presentations are free and open to the public. Formal mediation is ordered through the family court. Fees are charged by the family court.
