scheduling Office of Dispute Resolution Mediations

The intake and scheduling process is the same for all types of mediation.

Court Orders/Attorney Referrals/Client Referrals

A court order is not required to use the Office of Dispute Resolution services. ODR can be used for party- or attorney-initiated domestic and civil mediation generally at a lower cost than a private mediator. Fee waivers are available for qualified parties even if the mediation is not court-ordered.

Mediation Intake Form

A party, or attorney on behalf of a party, must complete the mediation intake form as thoroughly as possible, and include contact information for each party. Incomplete forms will be returned for completion. The quickest way to get your mediation assigned and scheduled is to download the above form and email it to intake@larimermediation.org. Intake forms are also available through the Court Facilitator or the Court Clerk's office. You may also submit your intake by faxing it to the number on the form, or mailing it to the address on the form. No mediation will be scheduled until the completed intake form has been submitted.

Mediator or Scheduler will Contact Participants

The cases are assigned randomly to the available mediators. The parties will be contacted directly by the assigned mediator or scheduler. If the attorneys wish to participate in the mediation or the scheduling of mediation, please indicate that on the form, and the assigned mediator or scheduler will contact the attorneys rather than the parties.

Please note that mediations are scheduled Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
