SLR 10-12.017: Non-Resident Participants

If one of the parties is not a resident of the county in which mediation is scheduled, that party may request that mediation occur by remote means. If the needs of both parties would be better served by remote mediation, they may agree to such mediation. If remote mediation occurs, both parties will appear remotely and will arrange to be available in a quiet place, not in the presence of the parties' children. All others present at the time of remote mediation must be identified. Costs of telephonic mediation will be paid proportionately by the parties appearing by telephone.
