Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions about our Illinois Office? We’ve got answers!

In Illinois, divorce mediation can help spouses address issues such as parenting arrangements, communication, settlement terms, and other family law disputes. The goal is to help both parties reach practical agreements without requiring court intervention at every disagreement.
Illinois law requires parties to attend four hours of mediation in nearly all cases where there is an underlying issue related to children. In special circumstances, the court may decide not to send the parties to mediation. This primarily happens when there is a legitimate safety concern for one or both parties, such as when an Order of Protection has been entered.
Yes. In Illinois, child-related issues are usually framed around parenting time and decision-making responsibilities. Mediation can help parents work toward a parenting plan that they believe will support the child(ren)’s best interests.
Yes. Mediation is commonly used to help parents create a written parenting plan that addresses schedules, decision-making, exchanges, holidays, communication, and other co-parenting details.
BSS provides mediation services through its Illinois office serving the Swansea and Belleville area. The firm’s mediation team helps families move forward after divorce with guidance and support.
In Illinois, cases with children are required to have four hours of mediation on the parenting issues, unless the parties come to an agreement prior to the four hours. Parties may elect to attend additional mediation if they feel necessary. When considering mediation of financial issues or settlement terms, the timeline depends on the number of unresolved issues, the complexity of the finances, and how prepared both parties are. Some mediations resolve quickly, while complex divorce issues may require multiple sessions.
