In the wake of natural disasters, many families are dissatisfied with the way courts have dealt with their disputes. The best solution is a federal statute that would mandate mediation every time a child relocates with one parent in the wake of a natural disaster. Additionally, parents who share custody of a child would be encouraged to create a new arrangement when one parent relocates after a natural disaster.
Drawing from cases of mediated settlements in Eastern Africa, this book provides an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of African intervener's in civil wars against the backdrop of theories of negotiations and mediation.
