Résumé

Depuis septembre 1997, une nouvelle loi concernant la médiation familiale est entrée en vigueur au Québec. Cette loi permet aux couples avec enfants de recevoir les services d'une médiatrice ou d'un médiateur professionnel lors de la négociation et du règlement de leur demande de séparation, de divorce, de garde d'enfants, de pension alimentaire ou de révision d'un jugement existant. Ce texte présente et analyse les résultats d'une étude sur les pratiques et les effets de la médiation familiale pratiquée depuis l'entrée en vigueur de cette loi comparativement à la situation qui prévalait antérieurement. Selon les données, la loi a conduit à une plus grande accessibilité à la médiation pour les couples moins à l'aise financièrement.

Abstract

In September 1997, a new family mediation law came into force in Quebec. This law allows couples with children to be provided with the services of a professional mediator while their application for separation, divorce, child custody, spousal or child support is being negotiatied and settled or an existing decision is being reviewed. This article presents and discusses the results of a study that compares the practices and results of family mediation under this law with the previous situation. According to the data, the law provides greater access to mediation for low-income couples.
