Known for helping parties reach fair, practical resolutions during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, Jason F. Barnes is a Utah Court Rostered Master Mediator, approved for divorce mediation, with experience mediating legal family law matters dating back to 2006—nearly two decades of practice—and over 30 years in the legal field. He began his legal career in 1991 as a bankruptcy paralegal in his father’s law office and has practiced family law since 2002. Mr. Barnes mediates a wide range of family matters—including divorce, paternity, custody, parent-time, support, alimony, property and debt division, post-decree modifications, and retirement division involving personal, corporate, civil, and military plans. He is widely recognized for his expertise in preparing and processing QDROs, DROs, and COAPs—a focus of his legal practice since 2002—with many attorneys not only referring this work to him but also consulting him for advice due to his depth of knowledge in retirement division. Earlier in his career, he also practiced bankruptcy and business law and served as corporate counsel for several businesses. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Finance with an emphasis in investing, strengthening his ability to resolve financially complex cases. His legal practice has also been highly focused on adoption; he previously served as President of the Utah Adoption Council. Mr. Barnes is known for his calm, neutral, and solution-focused approach. He is particularly effective in emotionally charged or high-conflict situations, helping parties stay focused on resolution. He draws on evaluative, facilitative, and transformative mediation methods to guide both represented and self-represented parties—and helps parties understand what to expect from the mediation process and how it will be conducted—ultimately helping them reach practical, durable resolutions.
