Le droit de la famille est une vaste matière en constante évolution. Son histoire démontre que ce contentieux n’est pas facile à traiter. Depuis le XVIIème siècle, notre législateur a essayé par différents procédés d’apporter la meilleure réponse au conflit familial. Le tribunal de famille était composé de membres de la famille ou de voisins. Les juristes étaient totalement évincés de cette juridiction durant la Révolution française, et ont progressivement réapparu, pour anéantir cette juridiction au début du XIXème siècle. Le divorce et la filiation bénéficièrent également des changements de la société et connurent de nombreuses réformes. Les guerres mondiales du XXème siècle et la libéralisation de la femme ont amené les professionnels du droit à créer la chambre de la famille composée de juges habilités au traitement des divers conflits familiaux. Cette expérience conduit notre législateur a créer un juge spécialisé en la matière et notamment dans le divorce. Ses pouvoirs se développent en 1993 le remplaçant par le juge aux affaires familiales chargé de l’examen des conflits familiaux, en fonction des compétences qui lui sont confiées. Cependant, ce contentieux restant important, il se trouve dépassé. C’est ainsi que le législateur a introduit la médiation familiale, confiée au médiateur familial. Notre législateur utilise la procédure afin de trouver la meilleure solution au traitement de ces conflits familiaux. Actuellement, la commission Guinchard a soumis plusieurs propositions faisant l’objet de diverses lois intégrées dans notre droit français de la famille pour accroitre les compétences de ce juge et développer les modes alternatifs de règlement des conflits. / The family law is a vast subject which is in constant evolution. His history reveals that is litigation is not easy to treat. Since the XVIIth century our legislator tried different systems to bring the best solution to the familial litigation. The Family Court (tribunal de famille) was composed of persons who belong to the family in dispute, or of neighbors. Jurists were completely absent of this jurisdiction during the French Revolution. Finally, citizens realized that jurists were necessary in order to have a justice respecting each one’s rights. It disappeared at the beginning of the XIXth century. The divorce law and filiation law followed changes of the society and knew some reforms. The World Wars of the XXth century and the women’s liberation movement bring up jurists to create the family chamber (chambre de la famille) which is composed of judges who know families disputes. This experience was taken our legislator to invent a judge who is specialized in this subject and especially in the divorce. His powers were developed in 1993 with the “juge aux affaires familiales” who is charged to analyze family’s disputes which are in his competences. But this litigation is always to important and this judge doesn’t have enough time to treat it in a reasonable time, That’s why the legislator integrated into our legal system the familial mediation which is directed by a familial mediator. Our legislator uses the legal term to find the best solution to this litigation. Recently the Commission Guinchard is proposed some ideas which are legalizing in our French family law according more powers to this judge and developing alternative dispute resolutions.

Au Canada, en Angleterre et aux Etats-Unis, on voit de nombreux groupes religieux prendre des initiatives susceptibles d'influencer les règles qui régissent la société civile. Pour certains, cette instrumentalisation de la religion à des fins politiques ébranle l'exercice des libertés et des droits fondamentaux. Dernièrement, les médias ont beaucoup parlé de la création des tribunaux d'arbitrage musulman appliquant le droit musulman pour régler des litiges d'ordre familial et financier au Canada, l'Angleterre et aux Etats-Unis. En fait, l'idée voulant que les parties privées s'entendent de leur plein gré pour soumettre leurs différends religieux islamique à un arbitre religieux musulman appliquant le droit musulman n'est pas nouvelle. à titre d'exemple, plusieurs communautés juives ont mis en place des tribunaux d'arbitrage rabbinique, chargés de régler les différends d'ordre civil entre particuliers juifs en vertu du droit rabbinique. C’est exactement ce précédent qui a incité des communautés musulmanes à emboîter le pas.Pour mieux comprendre les tenants et aboutissants de ces questions, nous avons choisi d'explorer l'arbitrage du point de vue interne, c’est à dire du point de vue des sources islamiques, pour ensuite l'examiner du point de vue externe, c’est à dire du point de vue de l'ordre juridique étatique dans lequel il est appelé à s'insérer (liberté de religion et le multiculturalisme). Le fonctionnement des tribunaux d'arbitrage musulmans mérite un examen attentif. Il conviendra donc de s’interroger sur le processus d'arbitrage, la reconnaissance et l’exécution des sentences arbitrales islamiques et sur le rôle de l'ordre public en la matière, avec l'idée d'envisager d'un point de vue normatif, un dialogue constructif et inclusif. / In Canada, England and United States, many religious groups have been organizing to implement policies that would influence the manner in which civil society is run. It has been argued that this use of religion for political gain threatens to undermine hard won entitlements to equality and basic human rights. Much media has recently focused on the issue of the formation of arbitration islamic tribunals that would use Islamic Law to settle familiy and financial matters in Canada, England and United States. In fact, the idea of privates parties voluntarily agreeing to have their islamic religious disputes resolved by an muslim arbitrator using the islamic law is not new. For example, other religious groups including several Jewish communities have created Jewish arbitration tribunals in order to resolve civil matters between individuals using Talmudic law, and setting a precedent for Muslim communities to do the same.After having explored arbitration from an internal perspective, in other words from islamic sources, we will examine this from an external perspective, in other words the national legal system into which it must be inserted (Religious Freedom and Multiculturalism). The functioning of islamic arbitration tribunals merits close examination. This therefore raises questions as to the arbitration process, the recognition and enforcement of islamic arbitral awards, and on the role of public policy in this respect, with the idea to envisage from a normative perspective, a constructive and inclusive dialogue

Family mediation as a method of resolving family disputes Family disputes rank among the most mentally and emotionally demanding. Despite that they can be resolved in a cultivated manner through an intermediate. A mediator does not decide the dispute on behalf of the parties but he/she can help them to find their own solution acceptable for all the involved parties. The theoretical part of the thesis outlines the conflict as a subject matter of the mediation. It also describes mediation as a form of negotiation. One part of the thesis is dedicated to the person of the mediator and his/her role and competence in the mediation process. Further, the thesis deals with the process and forms of mediation. The theoretical part also contains a characterization of mediation in family conflicts and it describes objectives of family mediation, its advantages and limitations. It also describes the tasks of the mediator in a divorce procedure and the legal regulation of family mediation. The thesis also deals with children in parental legal disputes and with the importance of a family for a child. The objective of the practical part was to determine how mediation, as a method of resolving divorce disputes, is viewed by workers in charge of social and legal protection of children operating in the South Bohemian region and to determine to what extent the respective social workers are familiar with mediation. In order to obtain comprehensive information about the divorce mediation, we also approached mediators involved in this type of disputes. One of the objectives of the thesis was to determine how the mediators view divorce mediation in the South Bohemian region. Last but not least, I was interested in mutual cooperation between the two involved entities. The purpose of the conducted interviews was to find out whether there are any obstacles which prevent the development of divorce mediation and its more frequent use in the South Bohemian region. Main object, by having answered partial questions, was to describe the potencial of divorce mediation and its real usage in the South Bohemian region. In order to obtain the necessary data we used a qualitative research. As a technique to collect the qualitative data we used semi-structured interviews with open questions. The respondents {--} workers of social and legal protection of children - were asked previously defined circles of questions which focused on a mediation method in general, mediator´s working post, divorce mediation and questions focusing on cooperation with mediators specialized in divorce mediation. The first three circles of questions were identical also for the interviewed mediators. The latter were additionally asked questions about the introduction of divorce mediation and availability of the method. Interviews were recorded on a dictaphone and subsequently converted into a written form. Before the beginning of the interview each interviewed person was assured that the interview was anonymous and no names or workplaces were recorded. For the purposes of a qualitative research we approached seven workers of the authority in charge of social and legal protection of children at workplaces in Písek, České Budějovice, Strakonice and Milevsko. For the purposes of research we also interviewed four mediators dealing with family (divorce) mediation in the South Bohemian region. The results of the thesis may improve the awareness of the discussed issues. The thesis may also serve as a pilot project for a more extensive research.
