In most counties in Oregon, mediation is required of couples who are dissolving their marriage, and for parents who are wanting to change custody or parenting time.
Here is a helpful article on this topic.
Usually, the court will require mediation when couples with children are divorcing, separating, or changing (modifying) pre-existing judgments. If the parents have not already completed the parent education class, this is also required by the court. The cost of the class is $60 but it also includes 90 minutes of mediation.
