Child custody mediation provides parents guidance in resolving differences they may have and in the development of a parenting plan through the help of an expert (Mediator). If the parents can work out an agreement, the Mediator helps them write the parenting plan, which may become a custody and visitation order when signed by a judge.
These mediators are governed by Idaho Rules of Family Law Procedures Rule 602, Idaho Court Administrative Rule 76, and Idaho Rules of Evidence Rule 507.
> Child Custody Mediator Application (New and revised Court rules went into effect January 1, 2026 (see above). The updated application and renewal affidavit will be posted here as soon as they are completed.)
