The court may order or parties may request mediation in domestic relations cases involving contested financial issues. Child support disputes brought by the Champaign County State's Attorney's office are ineligible for mediation. In its order, the court may set certain prerequisites to mediation, such as providing financial information or other information requested by the mediator. Parties may choose, or the court may assign, a mediator from a roster maintained by the court. Mediators must be attorneys licensed in Illinois and with at least five years of family law experience. They must complete at least eight hours of training in financial and property issues and be a member of the Mediation Council of Illinois. Parties share the cost of the mediator fee, which may not be lower than $150 per hour. The rule further details the mediation process, attendance requirements, impediments to mediation, confidentiality and post-mediation procedures.
