Courts in Oklahoma and nationwide encourage divorcing parties to reach out-of-court agreements through mediation. In addition, family and divorce mediators can take advantage of the growing public awareness of mediation as an effective and less pricey alternative to divorce litigation.

This course meets the training requirements of the Oklahoma District Court Mediation Act to be court-approved as a family and divorce mediator in Oklahoma. This course will also meet the standards for divorce mediation training in most states. The financial, legal, psychological, and procedural dynamics of divorce mediation are explained and then experienced through role play.

Family and Divorce Mediation Training allows participants to:

  • Create new career opportunities
  • Increase earning potential
