The Special Needs of Children
In domestic mediation, the needs of children have a special place. Sometimes, although rarely, the mediator will ask to speak to the children, especially if their residence or a visiting schedule are issues. No contact will be made, however, without your approval and agreement about why the children are to be seen. Children are part of the family too, and they may have their own questions and concerns about the future, and have needs quite different from yours. The parties should always keep in mind that the children's best interest should always be the top priority in any domestic dispute.
