NEBRASKA Part 62

MEDIATION

Nebraska law now provides that judges can order parents to attend Mediation in an effort to attempt to come to an agreement on some or all of the issues in the divorce. Mediation is not ordered for the purposes of trying to make your marriage work. For example, if you and your spouse cannot agree on who should have custody of your children, or what the parenting time schedule should be, the judge might say you need to see a Mediator. A mediator is a neutral party and most Mediators are specially trained to help people resolve their disputes. There is usually a cost for mediation, but Nebraska does have several Mediation Centers that offer services on a sliding fee scale.  To learn more about mediation click here.
