“…Little is known about mediator attitudes toward court-based mediation scrvices because the research on mediator attitudes is so sparse, and in this regard, the current research helps to break new ground. However, since most mediators possess prior professional training and experience in either mental healthhuman services or legal fields, one might expect some of the philosophies inherent in these primary professions to carry over (Folberg & Taylor, 1984;Koopman, 1985aKoopman, , 1985bKoopman, , 1985cKoopman & Hunt, 1983).…”

This article presents the initial findings of a research project in five judicial settings where there is the provision of child custody mediation within the court. A sample of judges, members of the Bar, and court mediators completed the Professional Study Questionnaire, which examined opinions regarding the efficacy of child custody mediation and requested suggestions for judicial policy and procedure in cases of custody conflicts.

Increasing rates of divorce, the consequent strain on the resources of the legal system, and the growing awareness that the adversarial court forum is not an appropriate setting for dealing with intense emotions has led, since the 1970s, to an increase in the provision of alternative means of dispute resolution for families in conflict. One such alternative is mediation.Although mediation has been a part of human history (Brown, 1982;Folberg, 1983;Irving, 1980), western societies have primarily used mediation in labor disputes and for international concerns. The application of mediation to family disputes has a limited history, having evolved rapidly since the mid 1970s. Mediation is emerging as a viable complement to the adversarial divorce in various locations throughout the world. Method, Definitions, and LimitationsThis chapter is the result of exploratory field research on the development and use of mediation as a means of dispute resolution in family courts in four international locations: Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A.; Sydney, J.
