Under this rule, the court may refer any contested issue in a domestic relations case to mediation, either on stipulation or motion of one or more parties or on its own initiative, though parties may file motions to remove cases from mediation. The rule outlines procedures for application to a list of mediators and selection of mediators, as well as procedures for conducting mediation, including scheduling and attendance requirements. Further, the rule gives requirements regarding confidentiality, compensation and mediator qualifications.
