Comment on How to “screen” in mediation and arbitration by Hilary Linton

Hi Nancy: The only person providing DOVE training to my knowledge is its author, Des Ellis at York University in Toronto. I am sure he takes it on the road. I have often considered putting together a private training and bringing him in for it; I am sure he would do that if numbers warranted it. You can reach him at desellis@yorku.ca. Take care, Hilary.

Comment on Can parties discuss reconciliation in mediation? by Hilary Linton

You raise some of the most challenging contemporary issues facing lawyers, mediators, judges, therapists and communities. There is a need for greater understanding in the family justice system of the complexities facing separating couples whose culture and faith may affect their options, real and perceived. Thank you for commenting.

Hello Hillary,
Very good topic. Yes indeed, In Muslim Personal and Family law it is a requirement before any attempt to divorce is considered. However the success rate is low since the problems are too far advanced by the time the clients approach mediation/arbitration.
Often the wife would be adamant that she will not consider it due the treatment of the in-laws or abandonment by the husband or prolonged periods of abuse. Sometimes cultural counselling helps, providing both attend.
Often home culture and traditions impact on the family in a western society where the wife is free to peruse her and her family goals with new found freedom. Where as the husband want to physically live in the west but mentally and culturally live in his old world.
IMy clients are from all over the Muslim world (mainly) and I have been practicing Family and Civil Mediation for many years.
