Alameda Superior Court · Frequently Used Forms

Verified current as of July 16, 2026

This form is used when parents in a custody case agree to hire a private mediator to help them work out their disagreements about child custody and visitation, rather than having a judge decide. Parents who are willing to cooperate and want a neutral third party to help them reach their own custody agreement would use this form.
