The Feasibility Of Family Mediation In Combating The Practice Of Parental Alienation

Abstract

This is a bibliographic research based on books, articles, and dissertations about the family as the most precious asset a child can have, and that this does not end with the separation of parents, since what occurs is a modification and not an end. For this reason, children and adolescents are extremely important elements in ensuring they continue to receive all the affection and care a child should have. The general objective is to analyze conflict mediation in family relationships and its viability in cases involving parental alienation. The specific objectives are as follows: to present the evolution of the institution of the family, the purpose of Family Law, parental authority, custody, and parental alienation; to understand the institution of family mediation, the role of the mediator, and the objectives sought through mediation; to identify the viability and effectiveness of mediation in processes involving the separation of couples and cases where parental alienation is practiced. The results show that it is necessary to use this resource as a means of promoting the well-being of families, especially in cases involving children, who often suffer parental alienation, which can harm their development. In these cases, dialogue is most effective.
