How does mediation work in Marshall County?
Marshall County, whose circuit clerk is in Lacon, is in Illinois's Tenth Judicial Circuit.[4] The circuit describes family law mediation as a court-ordered program for parental decision-making and parenting time, usually ordered by family and domestic court judges when parties cannot agree.[5] Once mediation is ordered, a certified mediator is chosen, and the circuit's list of approved mediators may be used.[5] The judge may decide whether an impediment exists, such as family violence, mental or cognitive impairment, alcohol abuse or chemical dependency, though an impediment does not automatically excuse mediation.[5] Under the circuit's local Rule 49, only mediators on the approved list can be court-appointed under Supreme Court Rule 905.[6] The mediators listed below are on that list, updated September 17, 2026.[3]
