Family Dispute Mediation in Serbia

Family dispute mediation in Serbia is a way of resolving family-related disputes more quickly and conveniently for the parties involved.

Our law firm pays special attention to family law, with an emphasis on children’s rights. In this regard, we have tailored our approach to resolving disputes to meet the needs of each client in order to find the optimal solution. In the following lines, we will explain the concept of mediation in family disputes, in which we are highly specialized.

 

What is Mediation?

 

Mediation is a process of peaceful dispute resolution in which an impartial third party, the mediator, helps the conflicting parties discuss their problems and find solutions together. Mediation is used in various contexts, including family, business, labor, civil, and many other disputes.

 

What Does Family Mediation Include?

 

Family mediation is a process in which a mediator helps family members discuss their problems and find solutions together. This method is applied in various situations, including:

 

  • Family issues related to relationships with children
  • Divorces
  • Property division, etc.

 

The mediator guides and facilitates communication between the parties, ensuring that all participants have the opportunity to express their views, feelings, and needs in a constructive manner. The goal of mediation is to reach an agreement that meets the needs of all family members, not just to achieve a compromise or impose the wishes and needs of one party.

 

Advantages of Family Mediation

 

Family mediation offers numerous benefits for all participants, including:

 

  • Improved communication: Mediation allows family members to openly discuss their problems and needs without fear of judgment or conflict. Mediation can also be conducted without direct personal contact between the disputing parties.
  • Reduced tension: The mediation process helps reduce tension and emotional stress, which can significantly contribute to maintaining mutual relationships.
  • Constructive conversations: Mediators ensure that discussions are solution-oriented, which facilitates the achievement of agreements that are fair and just for all parties.
  • Faster dispute resolution: Mediation often results in quicker dispute resolution compared to court proceedings, which can mean less stress and lower costs for all involved.
  • Preservation of relationships: Through mediation, families can find solutions that allow for the preservation and restoration of peace and harmony within the family.

 

When Can Family Mediation Be Applied?

 

Family mediation can be used before or during court proceedings.

 

  • Before court proceedings: Mediation before court proceedings can help prevent conflict escalation and lead to an agreement.
  • During court proceedings: During court proceedings, mediation can be a useful tool for finding common ground and reaching an agreement that satisfies both parties, often shortening the duration of the proceedings. This is also foreseen by the Family Law of the Republic of Serbia in certain situations.

 

Peaceful resolution of family disputes is crucial to avoid worsening relationships and creating lasting scars.
