Mediation
EXAMPLE ZOOM MEDIATION ON VISITATION / CONTACTS RIGHTS DURING COVID-19 & CORONAVIRUS (INTERNATIONAL) Professionals from the USA, Russia, UK, Spain and Poland gathered together to help other professionals and their clients experience online mediation in a family law case. The times of the pandemic affected family members all over the world. Some of the visitation orders/contact rights cannot happen or be enforced. Cross-border family relationships may encounter obstacles, necessitating mediation to help bring repair and resolution to difficult conflicts. In this video you will see: 1. how a mediator can help parties reach compromise; 2. how easy and comforting the online mediation can be for the parties; 3. the role of an attorney - the party's representative in mediation, bringing proposals, motivating the party and offering instant legal help; 4. how the ZOOM online mediation works, featuring the breakout rooms for caucus mediation; 5. and how the mediation agreement can be signed online, ending up the mediation process with success
