Children's participation in the mediation process can help them resolve some of their pressing concerns and can serve to initiate a process through which future tensions can be resolved. Self-worked agreements are perceived by the participants as being more equitable and are, therefore, usually more durable than agreements imposed upon the parties involved. All divorce mediations begin only after a 'mediation contract' has been signed by the parties, and their lawyers if they are to be present. The contract addresses the need for full disclosure, confidentiality, and the need to make decisions in terms of the children's best interest and needs. In addition, an absolute deadline is set for the final mediation session, usually a date 3 to 4 weeks in the future. Three representative case studies involving children of different ages (preschool, school age, and adolescence) are presented and discussed. Three references and sample mediation agreements are included.
