3 Important aspects of divorce and/or family mediation
It is impossible to give a general definition of mediation in the family law environment.
The following elements can, however, be regarded as some of the most important features of divorce and/or family mediation:
- An impartial and neutral third party facilitates the negotiation process in which the parties themselves make their own decisions.
- The mediation operates under the auspices of the law.
- The mediation process is confidential.
- The aim of the mediation process is to assist parties to reach a mutually satisfying agreement which recognises the needs and rights of all family members.
- The mediation process is flexible and creative and can be adapted according to the context of the dispute and the needs of the parties.
