For PARENTS IN CONFLICT

Family mediation is a service offered to couples who are in the process of separating or are already separated and wish to find fair and appropriate solutions for their family. Facilitated by an impartial mediator, this approach promotes dialogue, collaboration, and the search for respectful agreements in a calm atmosphere.

The rigorous and impartial approach provides detailed assessments and clear recommendations to help the courts and the parties involved make informed decisions in the best interests of the children.

Mediation allows for the discussion of various aspects related to separation, such as:

  • child custody and access rights;
  • sharing of parental responsibilities;
  • child support;
  • sharing of property and finances.

Family mediation is intended to be a constructive alternative to legal proceedings, offering a confidential setting where every voice can be heard and respected.

The main roles of the family mediator are:

  • Facilitating communication;
  • Impartiality;
  • Avoiding judgments;
  • Guiding the process;
  • Structuring the sessions;
  • Facilitating conflict resolution;
  • Exploring options;
  • Providing information;
  • Drafting a summary of the agreements.

Goals:

  • The family mediator plays a crucial role in facilitating communication, guiding the conflict resolution process, providing relevant information, and offering emotional support to the parties involved.
  • To reduce conflict, limit negative effects on children, and support parents in establishing a stable and harmonious family structure.
  • Support a fair legal process and promote sustainable solutions for families in difficulty.

Offered to parents and in the best interests of children

Description:

Family assessments are designed to provide guidance to courts, lawyers, or families in complex situations involving child custody, parental responsibilities, and the well-being of minors. Conducted by a qualified and impartial professional, the assessment provides an objective evaluation of the psychological, emotional, and relational needs of children, as well as the parenting abilities to meet those needs.

This rigorous process includes meetings with parents and children, observations, clinical interviews, and, if necessary, validated psychometric tools. The report produced presents detailed findings and recommendations to support decision-making in the best interests of the child.

Family expertise thus contributes to providing a nuanced understanding of family dynamics and promoting respectful, balanced solutions focused on the well-being of children.

Objectives:

  • Expertise in psychosocial assessment in family matters and severe separation conflicts is possible given extensive experience in assessing parenting skills and managing situations of domestic violence.
