Mediation is required in California whenever a dispute regarding custody or visitation is presented to the court.      Mediation is confidential, and the mediator will not make recommendations to the court, unless otherwise stipulated by the parties in advance. There is no charge to the parties for mediation. If no agreement is reached in mediation, and further investigation is required, the court may order a Family Custody Evaluation. Fees for evaluations that are performed through Family Custody Services are determined on a sliding scale based on the gross income of each party.    To schedule Family Custody Mediation, or to obtain more information regarding the specifics of how these services are offered in North and South County, contact 805-568-3175 in South County, or 805-346-7679 in North County. Family Mediation services are conducted by appointment only. Family Court Services Family Mediation Family Law Facilitator Family Law Classes Parent Education Classes
