Abstract

This study examines the role of non-judge mediators in divorce mediation at the Class IB Lubuklinggau Religious Court, including obstacles and proposed solutions. It employs qualitative research combining normative analysis of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2016 with empirical observation, interviews, and documentation. Interviews with non-judge mediators and litigants, alongside legal literature and court records, inform the analysis. The findings indicate that mediators facilitate dialogue, encourage reconciliation, and support partial agreements concerning post-divorce obligations. However, party absence, entrenched intentions to divorce, emotional conflict, and limited cooperation frequently prevent successful settlement. Communication skills, reframing, separate meetings, renewed summonses, and improved coordination are proposed to strengthen participation and mediation outcomes. The study emphasizes consistently fair procedures and protection of vulnerable family members throughout divorce mediation proceedings.
