Grant Cir. Ct. Supp. L. R. 12.160
As amended through June 11, 2024
A domestic relations case filed in Circuit Court remains subject to the control of the Circuit Court during mediation. The court which refers a case to mediation may set in its referral order the limits of the mediator's scope of authority in the case. Any agreements of the parties reached as a result of mediation for which court enforcement may be sought must be presented to the court in judgment form. The court shall retain final authority to accept, modify or reject the agreement. In order to preserve and prompt the integrity of mediation as a dispute resolution technique, the court shall consider and may include all reasonable agreements reached by the parties in formulating its judgment in the case.
