Civil lawsuits & business mediators in Crawford County, IL

How does mediation work in Crawford County?

Crawford County's circuit court sits at the Crawford County Courthouse, 1 Court Street in Robinson, where the Second Judicial Circuit lists two circuit judges (618-544-7471) [1]. The state courts directory places Crawford in the 2nd Circuit of the Fifth Appellate District [2]. For contested custody, visitation or child-removal issues, the circuit's family mediation program starts with a case management conference; once a mediation order is entered, a follow-up conference 45 days later is set for the parties and mediator to report on progress [3]. Two of our Crawford mediators appear on the Fourth Judicial Circuit's child-related and civil lists [4][5], and one is on the Second Circuit's approved family mediator list [6].
