Whet exactly implies mediation?

Mediation is a way to settle conflicts, whereby the parties involved together seek for solutions that are acceptable for both, this under the guidance of a trained independent third party, the mediator.

Outside court: parties search for the solutions themselves instead of submitting their conflict to a judge.

The mediator guides the discussions that are conducted along certain regulations. He asks questions and ensures in this that each party has sufficient say to put forward their problems and wishes. He does not offer solutions himself and does not impose solutions either. He is impartial and ensures that the equilibrium between parties is safeguarded.

Attention for children: the mediator safeguards during the mediation also the interests of the children that are unwillingly part of the conflict as well.

Respect and confidentiality: parties are motivated to listen to each other and treat each other respectfully. It is agreed with parties that the contents of all mediation discussions remain between them and is not shared with others.

In-depth information: parties are informed in-depth, which allows them to make deliberate decisions.

 

In short: mediation can be started after transfer by court, but also at the own initiative of the parties involved. The mediation process consists of various phases taking place over a number of sessions. The concrete number of sessions differs between mediations. During the final phase the solutions brought forward by the parties are put in writing in a detailed agreement that can then be homologated by court.
