California Divorce Mediation Training

Divorce mediation gives couples a chance to avoid court proceedings.

Divorce mediation allows couples to resolve their conflicts through the help of a third party. It is increasingly in demand as couples shy away from adversarial litigation. Many opportunities for divorce mediation training are available in California.

Types

In California, two major groups offer divorce mediation training, professional mediators and volunteer organizations. Professional mediators are more likely to offer mediation training specifically for divorces.

Free Training

Volunteer organizations such as Humboldt Mediation Services often offer free basic mediation training. Universities and businesses sometimes also provide mediation training to their students and employees. The basic mediation training may not cover special considerations associated with divorces.

Training by Professional Mediators

Many professional mediators in California provide divorce mediation training. The training usually costs between $1,000 and $1,500. Local mediators offer video or in-person training seminars.

National Organizations

Some national organizations such as the National Conflict Resolution Center have conferences or summer institutes in various cities throughout the country. Cost to attend courses is comparable to the cost of training by professional mediators.
