Family Mediation ProgramUtah Dispute Resolution (UDR) provides mediation services to families in conflict. Disputes range from divorce and paternity to estate probate and end-of-life decisions. UDR exists to serve Utahns with financial need. For that reason, parties requesting mediation are asked to complete income surveys in order to qualify for services. Examples of disputes that are addressed through mediation include relationships involving:
FeesUtah Dispute Resolution charges each party in a dispute a one-time, non-refundable $20 administrative fee to open a family mediation case. All parties requesting family mediation services from UDR are asked to complete an income survey, which is used to determine mediation fees.The fee for mediation services is based on income and family size. People whose income falls at or below 150% of the Federal poverty level are not charged for the mediation. People whose income exceeds this level are assessed a reduced fee. If the income of both parties in the dispute exceeds 350% of Federal poverty level, then UDR's services may not be appropriate. In these instances, we recommend that parties seek services from a private provider. The Utah Court maintains a roster of mediators who meet minimum qualifications.

Protective Orders & Stalking InjunctionsIf there is an existing protective order or stalking injunction involving you and another party in the dispute, you will need to provide a copy of this document to Utah Dispute Resolution. Unless the protective order allows you to meet in mediation with the other party, you will need to modify the order before UDR can schedule the mediation. The modification will not change the terms of the protective order other than allow you to participate in mediation. |
