Rethinking Family Mediation
Over several decades, policies have made mediation a key part of the English and Welsh family justice system. As the process faces increasing demand from a diverse and complex client base, some argue for a return to a fully funded court system. However, this dominant view overlooks the longstanding problems with the court process, as well as the potential value of mediation. This book, based on original research, highlights the evolving role of mediators who assist families without legal support. By doing so, it reveals a contemporary vision of family justice that addresses some of the challenges in today’s landscape.
Family Mediation
Mediation provides an alternative to litigation in the courts to resolve family disputes and/or make arrangements about children, finances, and other personal matters after separation or divorce. It is intended to reduce the time, cost, and stress involved by helping families reach long-lasting agreements in the best interests of all involved. The UK government is increasingly supportive of this form of dispute resolution and matrimonial lawyers need to be aware of how they can integrate mediation with their existing legal skills. Now in its second edition, this is an authoritative and practical guide which clearly explains the mediation process, taking the reader through each stage, explaining how to interact with other professionals, and providing invaluable advice on the role of the mediator in particular situations.
Family Mediation
Family mediation has quickly become a significant means of legal dispute resolution, recognized in most North American jurisdictions as a relief to already overburdened judicial systems. Using an innovative practical approach, the authors of Family Mediation incorporate the pivotal principals of family therapy into this new context - the judicial realm of family mediation. The practice model - therapeutic family mediation - thoroughly treats history specific issues, and practice in an ecosystemic approach and responds to the feminist critique of mediation.
