Domestic
Relations Mediation
begins either by Order of the Court or at the request of the parties in
Domestic Relations Court. The
parties are not required to reach agreement in mediation and all confidential
matters disclosed to the mediator in the mediation sessions remain strictly
confidential irrespective of the outcome of the mediation. Mediation
services are provided according to a flexible fee schedule and mediations are
conducted in private areas of the various courthouses on a first come first
served basis, or offsite, by mediators selected for appointment on a case by
case basis according to the Court’s ADR plan.
Lead
mediators are recruited from among those who regularly mediate cases for the
Court and from the roster of experienced attorney mediators compiled by the
Alabama State Bar Center for Dispute Resolution in Montgomery, Alabama. The list can be found at http://www.alabamaadr.org. A list of approved mediator training
programs is available at www.AlaBar.org under Alternative
