Director's Note

---

​Thank you for visiting the Arkansas Access and Visitation Mediation Program website. We hope that you find this site to be both helpful and informative. Making decisions about child custody and visitation is often challenging. This is especially true when parties are navigating through an otherwise unfamiliar judicial process. Mediation can be an empowering tool for parties in this process.  The Arkansas Access and Visitation Mediation Program’s goal is to provide mediation services to help ensure that children are afforded financial support and parental involvement. This statewide program serves the residents of our State by providing mediation services at a reduced rate based on participants’ income.  Through mediation parents can work to create a parenting plan that works for both parties and one that benefits the child or children.
