Main Article Content

Abstract

The approach taken by society toward dispute resolution in child custody cases has historically been seen as litigation versus mediation. Given the current volume of cross-border family-related disputes, this binary approach no longer makes sense. In this note, I provide a brief introduction to mediation in Mexico, especially Mexico City. I also analyze other ideas regarding International Child Abduction by one of the Parents and International Family Mediation between Mexico and the USA.

Resumen:

El enfoque adoptado por la sociedad hacia la resolución de conflictos en los casos de custodia de menores históricamente ha sido visto como un pleito contra la mediación. Dado el volumen actual de los conflictos transfronterizos relacionados con la familia, este enfoque binario ya no tiene sentido. En esta nota, se hará una breve introducción a la mediación en México, especialmente en la Ciudad de México. También se analizan otras ideas sobre sustracción internacional de menores por uno de los padres y acerca de la Mediación Familiar Internacional entre México y los EE.UU.
