Divorcing couples to undertake mandatory mediation before heading to courts

Undoubtedly mediation is a useful tool in resolving disputes however it is by no means the only one. Many family solictors have already developed a more non-contentious approach in dealing with children and family cases. Litigation certainly is only considered when all other forms of resolution has failed. People (and their solicitors for that matter) should be given more credit in deciding whether mediation is suitable or not, instead of making it mandatory for all.
