Popis:	Family disputes are the bane of over-burdened court systems and child access issues consume a disproportionate share of court resources. Consequently, family mediation has become a viable method of resolving these disputes and mental health professionals are increasingly called upon to mediate child access and support disagreements. The growing utilization of mediation to resolve child access issues magnifies the need to examine the consistency and effectiveness of child custody mediation endeavors. This article reports findings from one exploration into the practices of four judicial districts. Outcomes within and between court districts favoring judge-imposed orders are compared with outcomes from districts which favor mediated settlements.
