Another family law court mediator is leaving

 

Yesterday, I received a tip as I was leaving the courthouse that one of the family law court mediators who is a woman, last name Barda is leaving. At least one attorney who works in dependency and family law had not heard the news. My source said due to this staffing issue, it already has and will impact future scheduling in family law.

I already wrote about two Deputy County Counsel leaving and right now they are short staffed with four people who have left. I have written about several Humboldt court staff leaving or retiring so there is consistently staff shortage.
