There are many global policies and conventions which takes precedence over court orders in some situations. It is important that your mediator know these like the back of their hand.In worldwide cases worrying a change in jurisdiction, mediation is still possible. The parents’ positions might be polarised however in some cases each moms and dad simply requires to be in a more unwinded environment (away from the courtroom) and listen carefully to the proposals advanced by the other. What is said is ‘without prejudice’ so it can not be referred to in any future court procedures.
The area of international family law, whether it includes kids or financing, is extremely complex. All problems should be carefully considered and given the mediation table during the procedure. Not to consider them would, in our view, be a stopped working (perhaps negligent) mediation. It is for that reason important that arbitrators with global competence are utilized. Concern your mediator concerning the experience s/he has in international family law.
It is your right to understand. There are many safeguards which should be put in place to protect the contract you both reach and a raft of mistakes to avoid. There are numerous global regulations and conventions which takes precedence over court orders in some scenarios. It is important that your mediator understand these like the back of their hand.
Example: A couple might have agreed that one of them will transfer with a child to another country for one year and will then go back to the contact and living plans that existed prior to the short relocation. BUT if that parent decided not to return, it might be extremely hard for the left behind moms and dad to firmly insist on a return even if an application is made to the court.

Responsibility of care
Children are only brought into the mediation process in Poland if it is necessary or if they wish to be heard and the moms and dads agree.At iFLG, we specialise in cross border cases including children and we understand these risks. It is our duty to raise these problems in the mediation procedure and for the moms and dads to consider them.
By raising these problems, the moms and dads can then look for particular legal guidance before reaching a mediated arrangement. The attorney can go to the mediation or a mediation can be adjourned for a brief time to enable a moms and dad to look for suggestions prior to continuing. The final contract needs to be one which works and is leak-proof.
We always encourage putting a mediated agreement including international aspects into a court order as this will be constantly be more safe and secure than an arrangement which has actually not been backed by a court. If it is proposed that a child will be returned after a duration abroad or get in touch with arrangements are set out, it is essential that as many safeguards as possible have been built into the agreement or court order as possible.
The mediator has a duty of care to the mediation process, to ensure any agreement made remains in the very best interest of the kids, fair to both parents which all important concerns which might cause the arrangement to stop working have been effectively considered.
If an agreement is reached within the mediation process a Memorandum of Comprehending is drafted. This is a legally fortunate file setting out whatever from with whom and where the kids will live; the contact arrangements (with moms and dads and extended family); unique events; a decision making structure for all significant milestones in the children’s lives; health, education and religious beliefs. The list is unlimited.
Children are just brought into the mediation procedure if it is needed or if they want to be heard and the moms and dads agree. In practice, we can see children from the age of 8/9 years upwards. The children are invited to meet the mediator separately however just if they and the parents agree. Often the voices of the children assist parents to truly comprehend how their children feel which in turn helps them to make the ideal choice for their family. Mediation helps bring the voice of the child/children to the forefront.
Mediation usually takes 3 sessions each of around 2 hours. These sessions can be face to face at our Poland workplaces or through Skype. Mediation is cost effective and works well. It is likewise easily ‘portable’ throughout the world’s time zones.
