Abstract

The following article, entitled: “Family Mediation in comparative key: Argentina and Mexico”, analyzed the juridical norms related to family mediation in the Chaco Province, Argentina and Nuevo Leon State, Mexico. It was used the qualitative approach, based on the study, analysis, critical view, and comparison between the legislations of both States and theoretical scientific investigations indexed in vLex, Dialnet and Scopus to ensure the accuracy of the information. It was found that the juridical design established for family mediation not only obstructs its conception as a method to access to daily justice, but also the lack of specific regulations makes difficult to work with. From the comparative study, it was concluded the necessity of introducing juridical proceedings and good practice in the familiar mediation professional activity in the Mexican juridical system, especially the conception of the mandatory prejudicial mediation in family conflicts with children involved.
