South Carolina Norton Standing Order Conduct Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) used in family court cases in South Carolina. This type of mediation is conducted outside of court and allows the parties to reach an agreement without the need for a judge or jury. This type of mediation is commonly used to resolve issues such as divorce, child custody, child support, visitation, alimony, and division of assets. The mediation process is facilitated by a mediator, who is a neutral third party who helps the parties work through their differences and reach an agreement. The mediator will help the parties identify and discuss their interests, needs, and concerns, and work with them to craft a mutually agreeable solution. There are two types of South Carolina Norton Standing Order Conduct Mediation: court-ordered mediation and private mediation. Court-ordered mediation is when the court orders the parties to participate in mediation in order to resolve their dispute. Private mediation is when the parties decide to mediate their dispute without court involvement. Both types of mediation are voluntary, and the parties may choose to opt out of the mediation process at any time.
