Mediators in Macoupin County, IL

How does mediation work in Macoupin County?

At the Macoupin County Courthouse, 201 East Main Street in Carlinville, the self-help center is an office next to the Circuit Clerk's Office, and an e-filing kiosk sits inside the clerk's office [1]. Divorce goes to the General Division and other family cases to the Probate Division, both on the first floor, while traffic and criminal matters are on the ground floor [1]. Macoupin belongs to the Seventh Judicial Circuit, whose rules-of-practice page lists Circuit Administrative Order 2024-27 on court-approved mediators and links a circuit mediator list [2][3]. Every mediator below comes from the neighboring Fourth Circuit's child-related list, which covers custody, parenting time, relocation and third-party visitation, and some also from its civil list [4][5].
