About cross-border mediation &
international parental child abduction

As a consequence of the growing ease of global travel today, partnerships between people from different cultures, across borders, embracing different customs and faiths are becoming more and more familiar. This has added a new dimension to the practice of family law, expanding it to a global level and causing the complexity to escalate.

Mediation is a voluntary method of settling disputes.  A neutral third party, a mediator who does not exercise decision-making authority, assists the parties in negotiating a mutually beneficial settlement. Cross-border mediation is the specialized form of mediation that targets the intricacies of custody and visitation concerns of the global family.
