Mediation

A Constructive Path Toward Resolution

Mediation enables families to reach agreements through a guided conversation rather than a courtroom conflict. The Block | Reid team believes that when parties maintain control of their own outcomes, they’re more likely to build lasting solutions. Our attorneys, each experienced in family law mediation, help clients communicate effectively, identify shared goals, and craft balanced agreements that stand the test of time.

Whether the matter involves property division, parenting time, or financial support, mediation provides a confidential and efficient environment to resolve disputes while preserving relationships and reducing emotional stress. We combine legal knowledge with empathy, ensuring that every agreement is both practical and legally sound.

Divorce Mediation

A structured process guided by a neutral mediator, divorce mediation helps couples divide assets, debts, and property fairly while avoiding costly litigation. We ensure all agreements comply with Illinois law and protect long-term interests.
Parenting & Custody Mediation

Focusing on the well-being of children, we facilitate conversations that help parents establish parenting schedules, decision-making frameworks, and co-parenting plans tailored to family needs.
Financial & Support Mediation

When disputes arise over maintenance or child support, mediation offers a way to assess income, lifestyle, and obligations transparently. We help clients achieve fair, sustainable financial arrangements without court intervention.
Post-Divorce Modifications

Even after a judgment is entered, circumstances can change. Through mediation, we help clients revisit existing agreements regarding support, parenting, or relocation to maintain fairness and stability.
Court-Approved Mediation Services

As certified mediators, our attorneys can serve as neutrals in both court-ordered and privately mediated cases. We manage the process with impartiality and professionalism, ensuring compliance with all Illinois mediation standards.
