Mediación como alternativa eficaz a la falta de celeridad procesal en procesos de alimentos.

Abstract

Mediation is an alternative method that can be carried out whenever it is need with a matter that can be settled. This procedure can help to set alimony in a faster and more efficient way. At present, there is a congestion of the judicial units, due to the large number of cases being heard in court proceedings. This impedes the celerity of maintenance proceedings. Given this reality, the mediation process has several benefits, the main one being speed. A mediation process is faster and less costly. In addition, it has positive characteristics such as the preservation of links between the maintenance debtor and the beneficiary. Mediation can be used both to establish maintenance in the case of minors as well as for other persons who are owed maintenance by law. Mediation always leads to a dialogue and negotiation that results in an act with responsible commitments on the amount of alimony, the forms of payment and the deadlines for payment of the alimony owed. In this paper we analyze in detail the benefits of mediation in alimony matters.
