How does mediation work in Jefferson County?

Jefferson County cases fall under the Second Judicial Circuit's Family Mediation Program (Rule 21), in place since 2007, which sends contested custody, visitation and child-removal issues to a case management conference and then to mediation [1]. Parents must file financial affidavits, pre-mediation questionnaires and proof of a parenting class beforehand; indigent cases may go to a judicial mediator [1]. Under Rule 23, judges can order mediation in civil cases, to be finished within 60 days [2]. The courthouse is at 100 S. 10th St. in Mount Vernon [3]. Mediators below come from the Fourth Circuit's child-related and civil lists and the First Circuit's family list [4][5][6].

Private mediation in Illinois: No statewide license for private mediators was found in the sources reviewed; circuit 'certified' lists apply to court programs. No rule specific to out-of-state or online mediators was found.
