| Abstract: | This note evaluates the advantages of mediation to resolve custody and visitation disputes when lesbian couples end their relationships. Traditionally, the court system has been reluctant to grant custody to "legal strangers" or third parties. Therefore, mediation has become a more responsive forum to resolve such disputes. This note analyzes several different mediation options available through community-based resources. |
