Prior to entering a custody judgment, parents who are in conflict over custody, visitation and/or non-child support issues related to their children are required to attend court mediation.  After a custody judgment has been entered, parents who are in conflict over custody, visitation and/or non-child support issues related to their children may be ordered to attend court mediation.  Additionally, most joint parenting agreements (joint custody) require that the parties seek resolution of issues with a non-court mediator before petitioning the court for relief.  If a non-court mediator is not specifically mentioned in your Joint Parenting Agreement, you may obtain a referral from one of the non-court mediation entities below.
