Legal Aid of North Carolina

Many North Carolina counties have a mandatory process of mediation for custody matters. If the county where your case will be heard has MANDATORY MEDIATION you must go through mediation BEFORE a permanent custody hearing.

If you receive a notice to attend mediation you have to go to the scheduled mediation or you can be held in contempt of court.
