Friend of the Court mediation.

Must be provided for custody and parenting time disputes; optional use by the parties.

Court rule mediation.

The court may refer any contested issue to mediation, but parties who are subject to personal protection orders or who are involved in child abuse or neglect proceedings may not be referred to mediation without a hearing.

Referral to mediation—by stipulation, a party’s written motion, or the court’s own motion.

Objection to mediation—within 14 days after notice of an order assigning the matter to mediation, by motion and notice of a hearing. The motion must be heard within 14 days unless the court orders otherwise, but it must be heard before the case is submitted to mediation.

Private mediation.

On the parties’ stipulation, the court may order private mediation.

Arbitration.

The parties may agree in writing to resolve property, custody, and child support issues. Having agreed, the parties are bound by the decision. The court may vacate the award if
the award was procured by corruption, fraud, or other undue means
there was evident partiality by an arbitrator appointed as a neutral, corruption of an arbitrator, or misconduct prejudicing a party’s rights
the arbitrator exceeded his or her powers
the arbitrator refused to postpone the hearing on a showing of sufficient cause, refused to hear evidence material to the controversy, or otherwise conducted the hearing to substantially prejudice a party’s rights
