Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(750 ILCS 5/404) (from Ch. 40, par. 404)

Sec. 404. Conciliation.

(a) If the court concludes that there is a prospect of reconciliation, the
court, at the request of either party, or on its own motion, may order a
conciliation conference. The conciliation conference and counseling shall take
place at the established court conciliation service of that judicial district
or at any similar service or facility where no court conciliation service has
been established.

(b) The facts adduced at any conciliation conference resulting from a
referral hereunder, shall not be considered in the adjudication of a pending
or subsequent action, nor shall any report resulting from such conference
become part of the record of the case unless the parties have stipulated
in writing to the contrary.

The court, upon good cause shown, may prohibit conciliation or
other process that requires the parties to meet and confer without counsel.
