Family Court Services

The Office of Family Court Services works with parents that are involved in the Family Court system in Winnebago County and that have disputes related to the placement and custody of their minor children.

Being involved in court can be confusing and intimidating. Our staff is available to help parents that have general questions about:

Court process and procedure
Placement and custody of children
Co-Parenting from separate homes
Community resources
Legal resources (WE WILL NOT PROVIDE YOU LEGAL ADVICE)

We strive to help parents understand what is going on around them and to ease the stress of being involved with the court system. Our goal is to make life more livable for families during this stressful time.

If you have questions or wish to discuss entering into our mediation programs, you may contact our office at (920) 236-4762 to speak to a member of our staff or you may stop in personally when our staff is available to provide Walk In Services.

Mission Statement

We work to improve the lives of separated and divorced parents and their children by providing education regarding the family court process, conflict resolution techniques and effective communication tools. We strive to help parents determine for themselves the terms of their parenting plans with minimal court intervention. Our goal is to help parents learn how to better communicate, cooperate and co-parent, so that children experience the least amount of turmoil and conflict as possible as they navigate between their two homes.
