6 mediators list Christian County as their home county on official Illinois rosters.
Christian County's circuit court is in the Fourth Judicial Circuit, with the courthouse at 101 S. Main Street in Taylorville [1][2]. When a Fourth Circuit case involves custody, parenting time, decision-making, removal, relocation or third-party visitation, the mediator comes from the circuit's child-related list under Supreme Court Rule 905 and circuit Rule 11 [3]. Civil cases use a separate list under circuit Rule 12, which the circuit says is not for child custody cases [4][5]. The mediators below are drawn from those two Fourth Circuit lists, plus one on the Southern District of Illinois federal panel [3][4][6].
