🌟 New Rule to Support Families in McHenry County 🌟
The 22nd Judicial Circuit is proud to announce that the Illinois Supreme Court has approved Local Rule 11.14, which creates a program for Parenting Coordinators. Parenting coordinators are trained professionals who help parents in high-conflict situations work together in the best interests of their children.
This new rule sets clear standards for who can serve as a parenting coordinator, how they are appointed by the court, and how they support families. Qualified attorneys and mental health professionals can now apply to be considered for this important role, helping reduce conflict and keeping the focus on children’s well-being.
For details about the rule and the application process, please contact the Office of the Trial Court Administrator at courtadmin@22ndcircuit.il.gov.
