403.036 Mediation not to be ordered unless conditions are met.

In any court proceeding conducted pursuant to KRS 403.010 to 403.350, if there is a

finding of domestic violence and abuse, as defined in KRS 403.720, the court shall not

order mediation unless requested by the victim of the alleged domestic violence and

abuse, and the court finds that:

(1) The victim's request is voluntary and not the result of coercion; and

(2) Mediation is a realistic and viable alternative to or adjunct to the issuance of an

order sought by the victim of the alleged domestic violence and abuse.
