Abstract

This research project suggest mediation as a prior and mandatory conflict solution in family matters, as is the case of alimony, which, being a transigible issue, peaceful agreements can be reached without violating the rights of minors and in turn protecting the best interest of the child and adolescent. Mediation in Ecuador is governed by the Constitution of the Republic and the Arbitration and Mediation Law, but it is necessary to promote a legal culture of mediation, peace and dialogue within Ecuadorian society when resolving legal issues in which children and young people intervene to reach a solution that satisfies the parties involved to protect the family nucleus, in addition to alleviating the procedural burden of the family courts; which will benefit the parties involved in terms of time, and will strengthen the principles of speed and procedural economy.
