A recent change in English law will make mediation mandatory
for all couples who are seeking divorce in England. The change comes as English
lawmakers hoped to speed up the divorce process as well as help lighten the
case load for English courts that are bogged down with family law disputes. The
new law, which went into effect in April, requires that all couples take part
in a mediation session before going to court to resolve their differences.
Lawmakers hope that the mandatory mediation may help many couples
use a tool they might not have known about before, which may also help them
find alternatives to resolving their family issues before a judge. As one
solicitor put it, “Their core message of keeping families away from the
negative effects of court battles is surely a positive step.”
