How does mediation work in Williamson County?
Williamson County is in the First Judicial Circuit, and its courthouse is at 200 West Jefferson Street in Marion [1][2]. The same building houses the Office of the Chief Circuit Judge, which issues the circuit's lists of approved family mediators [3]. Those lists say applications are on file and advise users to confirm fees and other information before hiring a mediator [3]. The circuit provides mandatory mediation of contested custody, parenting time and relocation issues under Supreme Court Rule 905 [4]. Most mediators below come from the First Circuit family list, with others from the Southern District of Illinois federal panel [3][5].
