Mediation Service
reunite offers a specialist mediation service where, with the help of our experienced, impartial mediators, parents are able to make informed decisions and reach workable solutions that are acceptable to them both and which are focused on the best interests of their child.
Typically we offer mediation in cases of international parental child abduction. With the assistance of our specialist mediators, who are familiar with international children´s cases, mediation can offer the opportunity to consider all the options and it is possible that a realistic and practical solution can be reached which would remove the need for further court proceedings. In the words of one parent who participated in mediation:
"It avoids a courtroom battle, which in this type of situation only gets you to a no win situation."
We are aware of the main difficulties faced during a relationship breakdown when parents are, or are going to be, living in different countries. Again, mediation can offer the opportunity to consider all the options and ensure your child maintains a positive relationship with both parents and the extended family.
Typical matters considered within mediation are:
- the emotional needs of the child
- country of habitual residence
- parental responsibility
- a schedule for contact between the child and non-resident parent
- travel arrangements for contact
- exchange of information regarding the child´s education and wellbeing
Research shows that if parents have been directly involved in the decision-making process, agreements are more likely to be honoured. Also, the future relationship between two parents can be more co-operative, thus reducing conflict or potential trauma for children and the family as a whole.
