Mediation

is not a judicial process, it does not pass judgments but it provides the couples with solution for mending their marital relationship. Once the mediation process is completed the couples can either give their marriage another chance or may file a petition for divorce in the court. According to Section 9 of Family Courts Act, 1984, the parties have to go through a mediation proceeding before they approach the court for filing divorce petition.

Mostly the mediation process turns the disputes from Win-Lose to Win- Win situation. The most important advantage of Mediation process is that it cuts the cost and cumbersome litigation process. It is a neutral process which is in benefit for both the parties.

In mediation, both parties meet with a neutral third party, the mediator, and with the help of the mediator, they can work through the issues that need to be resolved so the two parties can make their decision about the future of their matrimonial relationship.
