The Research Topic: Mediation in Divorce in the Context of Domestic Violence

This research focuses on the subject of mediation in divorce proceedings when domestic violence exists between spouses.

The purpose of mediation, as well as other alternative dispute resolution methods, is to provide a framework for resolving conflicts between spouses during divorce, while fostering dialogue and aiming to reach an agreement through peaceful means.

The current study is a comparative research that seeks to examine several key issues:

•      Whether mediation in divorce conflicts involving domestic violence is possible and applicable.

•      Whether mediation alone is an effective and efficient process in divorce conflicts involving domestic violence.

•      Whether mediation in divorce conflicts involving domestic violence leads to an escalation of violence between the spouses.

•      How domestic violence in divorce conflicts affects the ethical and moral practices of mediators.

•      Whether there is a need for a structured and systematic classification method for cases of domestic violence between spouses.

•      What parameters determine the success of mediation in divorce conflicts involving domestic violence.
