Rule 14.37 - SUBJECT MATTER AND COMMENCEMENT OF MEDIATION(a) The Court may order mediation of any pre- or post- contested issue of guardianship, change of custody, discharge of guardian, visitation or parenting time, relocation, access to child(ren) or other non-economic issues arising in the guardianship of a minor case that is not otherwise determined to be ineligible. Upon the recommendation of CASA and if all parties to the case agree, the parties may voluntarily mediate through The Program any non-economic issue that may arise between the parties provided the Program has availability to mediate and the case remains active in court.(b) The mediation process shall commence as soon as practicable after an action is filed if the Court so orders. CASA may recommend to the Court that the parties participate in mediation.(c) Mediation shall not be required if the Court determines an impediment to mediation exists. An impediment to mediation may include, but is not limited to, domestic violence, mental illness, cognitive impairment, drug use, alcohol use, prescription medication use, physical impairment, fraud, duress, or undue influence. The mediator shall screen for such impediments. The Court may make inquiries of counsel or the parties concerning the issue of impediments to mediation.(d) The mediator shall also screen for issues of impediments to mediation. If the mediator determines that there is such an impediment, mediation shall be suspended, and the matter referred back to the Court for a determination regarding continued mediation.Ill. R. Cir. Ct.
