If you are in a child custody dispute in California, the California Family Code requires the court to refer parents to mediation through Family Court Services before the court may issue non-emergency child custody or visitation orders. Even if emergency orders are issued, the court will likely have the parents attend mediation prior to the formal and noticed hearing.
In California, there are two main types of family court services mediation: (1) Child Custody Recommended Counseling (CCRC) and (2) Confidential mediation. Counties that follow Child Custody Recommended Counseling (“CCRC”) are referred to as “reporting jurisdictions”. Mediation is very important in any reporting jurisdiction. We discuss the two types of child custody mediation in California below.
