“…The authors emphasized that this pattern in family and divorce mediation was the rule rather than an exception. In other countries like Australia (Rhoades, 2010), the Canadian province of Ontario (Smith, 1998; Winestone, 2015), Germany, Japan (Funken, 2001), Norway (Tjersland et al, 2015), Italy (De Palo & Harley, 2005), England and Wales (Gribben, 2001) mandatory family dispute resolution has also been used as the basis upon which to build.…”

The primary aim of this paper is to demonstrate the ways in which historical roots and social context have had an impact on mediation in Taiwan. During the investigation, the history, legal environment, and everyday practice of mediation were analyzed with particular attention to an out-of-court alternative dispute resolution method: town mediation. As the findings of a literature review and the qualitative field work confirm, town mediation only adheres to some principles of professionalism, and only to a limited extent. However, some specific features of town mediation that successfully contribute to peaceful conflict resolution are also discussed.

“…Then in July 2006, the law was amended, and it was required through this amendment that the process be initiated before litigation in this way the parents are also required to make genuine efforts for settlement of their dispute through ADR procedure and they also should present an affidavit to this effect, before the trial is initiated.

The research aims to highlight and discuss the different modes of settlement of disputes in today�s populated and overcrowded societies. The research has shown that due to expensive, time consuming and rigid process of formal justice system (court litigation) USA, Australia, UK and even European Union countries have preferred informal justice system (Alternative Dispute Resolution) for disputants to opt for their solutions. The informal dispute resolution system (Alternative Dispute Resolution) prevailing in modern countries like USA, Australia and UK is full of benefits and most probably the main reason for their progress and development also, and the study has shown that the system is working successfully in these countries, therefore, it can be applied anywhere even in the developing countries as well because this system is more sustainable in any form than the formal justice system (court litigation).

Family law is one of the areas that requires the collaboration of experts and practitioners from various discipline. The objective of this paper is to discuss the importance of inter-agency collaboration between various agencies in order to resolve family cases holistically. This is rooted in the understanding that family cases normally involve legal and non-legal issues that require resolutions which are beyond black and white of the law. Some cases involve financial, health or other social issues that call for advice from experts in that area. Based on the study conducted, it is found that inter-agency collaboration is needed due to limitations in the substantive family law, it is also to help vulnerable groups, and to provide holistic resolution of family disputes. Understanding the importance of such collaboration, this paper subsequently looks for example based on the practice of Australia that has established a network to coordinate the family law system. The network has been able to disseminate information and conduct pieces of training, expedite the process of referral effectively, and establish linkages between specialists in family law. Such networking and collaboration can help the litigants dealing with their legal, emotional and practical aspect of the issues that they are facing. It also helps the agencies gain a mutual understanding of each other’s role and functions. In addition to that, it may help the disputing parties making an informed decision and prepare for future adjustment to carry on with their parental obligations.
