How does mediation work in Stark County?

Stark County, with its circuit clerk in Toulon, belongs to Illinois's Tenth Judicial Circuit.[5] In the circuit, judges assigned to family and domestic cases usually order mediation when parties cannot agree on parental decision-making or parenting time, aiming to help them make parenting agreements without further court intervention.[6] A certified mediator is then chosen, and the circuit posts its approved mediator list online.[6] Under the circuit's local Rule 52, mediation communications are confidential, and the mediator gives any agreement in writing to the parties and their attorneys rather than to the court.[7] Approved mediators must complete five hours of continuing education every two years, two of them on domestic violence.[7] The mediators listed below are on the Tenth Circuit's approved Rule 900 list.[1]

Court-ordered case? Courts may require a mediator from their own approved list for court-ordered cases. Check your court’s rules, or see how mediation works in Illinois.

Court-connected mediation in Illinois: Illinois court mediation lists are kept circuit by circuit; courts appoint from those lists when parties cannot agree, and Cook County rules let parties agree on a mediator not on the court list.

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.
