Schaumburg Mediation Lawyer

Illinois Mediation Services in Cook County and DuPage County

When parties to a divorce or child custody dispute run into difficulties in communicating and negotiating their differences, they will often benefit from the services of a certified mediator. A mediator is an independent, neutral third-party who can facilitate a dialogue regarding disputed issues involving a couple's children, such as the allocation of parental responsibilties, parenting time, and child support.

In certain cases, divorcing spouse may also agree to use a mediator in an effort to resolve financial issues arising between the parties, such as the distribution of assets, allocation of debts, and spousal support payments.

The mediation process is confidential, and matters discussed during mediation are not admissible in court. This allows for a more open and fruitful discussion of the issues without fear that something said or brought out in a mediation session will be heard by the judge or somehow come back to harm a person or be used against them in a legal proceeding.
