Programa de Mediación de Divorcio Obligatorio
¿Cuál es la exigencia?
Comenzando el 2 de mayo de 2005, en cualquier ocasión que una respuesta a una petición de divorcio sea archivada y que incluya preguntas de competición, los partidos participarán de buena fe al menos que haya una sesión de mediación.
¿Qué significa esto?
La exigencia significa que, si después de que una respuesta es archivada a una queja de divorcio y hay preguntas en la disputa, los partidos participarán en mediación para tratar de resolver las preguntas de la disputa. Los partidos participarán en mediación, al menos una sesión de mediación, pero seguirán a menudo trabajando con el mediador para resolver todas las preguntas del divorcio. Si después de una sesión, los partidos no sienten que la mediación les va a asistir en la resolución de sus preguntas , ellos pueden avanzar en el proceso de tribunal.
Que es el Mediación?
La Mediación es un proceso en el cual un facilitador tanto con partidos para tener una discusión significativa sobre las preguntas disputadas como con ayuda a los partidos a explorar opciones posibles para la resolución. El mediador no dice a los partidos como solucionar las disputadas, tampoco ellos ofrecen el consejo legal o su opinión sobre las preguntas . De lo contratio, ellos juntan los partidos (a veces en el mismo cuarto, a veces en cuartos aparte) y les ayudan a hablar de las preguntas y soluciones posibles. El mediador trabaja con los partidos hasta que encuentren una solución mutuamente agradable o hasta que esté claro que ningún acuerdo puede ser alcanzado. Si un acuerdo es alcanzado, el mediador escribirá un memorándum no obligatorio del entendimiento que los partidos suelen redactar una estipulación y la orden por el tribunal. Si ningún
acuerdo es alcanzado, el mediador relatará la participación de partidos al tribunal y ellos pueden circular a un proceso sobre las.

¿Quién paga al mediador?
Los partidos son responsables de identificar y pagar a un mediador para proporcionar este servicio.

¿Cuál es el objetivo del mediación?
Los partidos deberan seleccionar y ponerse en contacto con un mediador 15 días después de la respuesta impugnada archivada con el Tribunal. Los partidos trabajarán entonces con el mediador para decidir cuando las sesiones de mediación deberían comenzar, pero se debe comenzar el proceso dentro de 45 días. Usando la mediación para resolver totalmente todas las preguntas en un divorcio, los partidos típicamente asistirán a varias sesiones de mediación. Los partidos seguirán trabajando con un mediador mientras ellos sienten que el proceso les asiste en la resolución de las en la disputa.
¿Puede un caso ser perdonado del mediación?
La Mediación es un proceso que requiere que todos los partidos se sientan seguro y se sientan cómodo compartiendo sus vistas. Si un partido en un divorcio no siente la reunión segura con el otro partido o no siente que ellos pueden compartir abiertamente sus puntos de vista, ellos pueden ponerse en contacto con el Coordinador de Programa de Mediación de Divorcio (801-578-3976 o 1-800-620-6318) para hablar de sus opciones. En casos extremos, ellos pueden ser perdonados de la exigencia para participar en la mediación.
En algunos casos, un partido puede vivir afuera del estado o puede ser encarcelado. En estos casos, se sugiere a los partidos a ponerse en contacto
con un mediador para hablar de la opción de fundación de la mediación por teléfono. Si un partido siente que su caso es extremo, ellos pueden ponerse en contacto con el Coordinador de Mediación de Divorcio para hablar de sus opciones.
¿Qué pasa si alcanzo un acuerdo en el mediación?
Esto es la esperanza de este programa que usted sea capaz de resolver
su divorcio usando el proceso de mediación. Si usted es capaz de resolver todas o algunas de las preguntas , su mediador le proveerá de un memorándum de entendimiento que perfila los acuerdos que usted ha alcanzado. Esto es entonces su responsabilidad de hacer escribir estos acuerdos en la forma de una estipulación y orden entonces ellos pueden ser presentados al tribunal. En la mayor parte de casos, a menos que usted entienda las exigencias de tribunal, los partidos necesitarán la ayuda de un abogado para redactar el trabajo de escribir la orden y la estipulación. Si usted no puede contratar a un abogado, usted podria usar los recursos de ayuda legales en su comunidad.
¿Qué pasa si no alcanzo un acuerdo en el mediación?
Si usted es incapaz de alcanzar cualquier acuerdo en el proceso de mediación, el mediador le proveerá de un aviso de disposición de mediación de modo que su caso pueda avanzar en el proceso de tribunal. Una copia de este aviso será también enviada al tribunal.
¿Y si haya una orden protectora o un orden de no contacto contra los partidos?
Si hay una orden protectora o cualquier tipo de orden de no contacto
contra culquier de los partidos en el caso, esta orden debe ser modificada para tener los partidos en cuenta para encontrarse en la mediación. Para la información en la modificación de una orden existente usted puede ponerse en contacto con un abogado, el ayudante legal o el tribunal.
