Standards
There
are certain
standards that apply to mediation services. The rules for mediation are
set
forth in the California Rules of Court 5.210. Rule 5.210 applies to
court-connected child custody mediation and addresses the authority of
mediation, purpose of mediation, mediation definitions, Responsibility
for mediation
services, mediation process, training, continuing education, and
experience
requirements for mediator, mediation supervisor, and family court
services
director, education and training providers, and ethics as it relates to
California mediators and California mediation.
Mediation
Purpose
The
purpose of
mediation is to help the parents of a child custody dispute resolve
their
disagreements and build a parenting plan together in mediation that
reflects
the overall best interest of the children. The purpose of mediation is
outlined
in Family Code 3161.
Mediation
Limitations
Mediation
may not be
able to help all parents work out their disputes. Some cases are too
complex or
far too acrimonious. In some cases, a parent will change his/her mind
after
signing an agreement in mediation. If you sign an agreement in
mediation and
later change your mind, you may be able to cancel your agreement by
submitting
your cancellation request to mediation services in writing. However,
you will
want to consult an attorney to learn how to properly cancel your
agreement and
the timeline upon which you can do it.
If
you are involved
in mediation you will want to consult an attorney in your area to help
you
learn about the mediation process, standards, purpose, your rights, and
what
mediators can and cannot do in mediation.
