No appointment is necessary but there is often a wait for walk-in services because all scheduled matters are disposed of first. While there are no fees for walk-in service, there may be a filing fee or modification fee charges by the Clerk of Circuit Court. Family Court Mediation Service, a division of the Family Court Commissioner's Office, provides mediation and custody study services for the Family Division of the Circuit Court when custody, placement or visitation issues arise. These types of services are part of alternate dispute resolution and allow for the parties themselves to work out problems with professional guidance rather than Court intervention. Parties can mutually request to be referred for mediation, or either party can make such a request if the judgment of divorce or paternity in their case so provides.
Parent education is required as a pre-requisite to mediation referral.
