Resolve conflicts
There is no one right way to resolve a family conflict.
Many options are available to families seeking to resolve a family conflict. To sum up, there are two basic ways: one path leads to court whilst the other remains outside the courtrooms. Both ways often complement one another. We would like to outline for you the particularities of conflict resolution, both in court and out of court.
Going to court
The purpose of our services is to show you what the next steps could be in highly contentious disputes with relevance to more than one country. Conflict resolution in court is one option. Find out here about the key aspects of the family court proceedings and in particular proceedings relating to child custody if there is a cross-border element.
Out-of-court conflict resolution
It can sometimes appear that there is no way to break the deadlock in a parental dispute. We often encourage people to consider alternative solutions and to reach an amicable agreement with the help of third parties. As well as family mediation, we put forward other methods for dealing with a conflict out of court.
Family mediation
On this page we would like to introduce you in more detail to an out-of-court procedure: family mediation. This is a confidential and structured process in which you and the other parent are supported by a specially trained person (or persons) as you choose to take responsibility for working towards a mutually agreed resolution of your conflict.
