Cross-cultural family mediation

Why mediation?

Separations in cross-cultural marriages are particularly difficult for children because they face the risk of not only losing contact with one parent but also of losing part of their dual cultural heritage.

In this context, a culturally competent mediator can help couples navigate the challenges of separation and co-parenting across borders.
Mediation is a very effective way for parents to make their own decisions and agree upon the solution that is best for them and their children.
Unlike adversarial legal proceedings that often deepen the rift between parents, mediation is a collaborative practice. Mediation is always voluntary and the role of the mediator is always impartial.
Mediation provides a more flexible resolution compared to litigation, minimizing emotional stress and helping to maintain amicable relationships, which is especially important for co-parenting.
