WYOMING Part 37

What is mediation?

Mediation is a private, informal way to work out your dispute. It uses a neutral third-party, called a mediator, to help you and the other parent agree on matters relating to custody and visitation of your child. A judge may refer you to mediation if s/he thinks it will be helpful, but the mediator cannot force you to agree to something that you don't want. If you are the victim of domestic violence, make sure the judge knows this. It may affect his/her decision on whether to send you to mediation.*

In general, the parents or anyone else who is asking for custody have to pay for mediation. In some cases, a judge may order different payment arrangements.
