Parenting Plan Dispute Resolution {MED-340}

MED-340 - PARENTING PLAN DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND EARLY RESOLUTION PROGRAM MEDIATION AGREEMENT. This form is used in Alaska family court cases where parents are attempting to resolve custody and parenting plan disputes through mediation. This agreement outlines the rules and expectations for mediation, ensuring that both parents understand the process and voluntarily participate in an effort to reach a mutual agreement regarding their parenting plan. The form explains that mediation is confidential, meaning discussions during the sessions cannot be used in court unless they are put into a written agreement signed by both parents. It also clarifies the role of the mediator, who facilitates discussions but does not provide legal advice or make decisions for the parents. If an agreement is reached, it may be filed with the court and become part of the official court record. If mediation is unsuccessful, the case proceeds to a judge for resolution. The form mentions that the court provides a limited number of free mediation hours, after which parents may have to pay for additional sessions. It also includes a demographic information section, which is collected for grant reporting purposes to support the program. By signing this form, both parents acknowledge that they understand the mediation process and agree to its terms. Civil Rule 100; AS 25.20.080. AS 25.24.060 & .140. www.FormsWorkflow.com
