The Illinois Supreme Court Rules: On January 1, 2007, The Illinois Supreme Court rules pertaining to family mediation went into effect. The Supreme Court adopted a series of rules to help ensure that child custody proceedings are handled expeditiously, competently, and with great emphasis on the "best interests of the child". Rule 905 requires that each judicial circuit in Illinois establishes mediation programs in custody and visitation cases.

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

About Family Mediation:

Mediation is a private process used by family members who need assistance to resolve a dispute or decide important family issues. Mediators, who are trained in family dynamics, communication skills, and facilitative techniques, do not have an opinion or a stake as to how a problem or situation is solved. The mediator does not make decisions, and any agreement reached is voluntary and decided by the participants. With a mediator’s guidance, participants work together through a series of orderly steps seeking agreement and resolution that meet the needs and goals of everyone involved.
