Mediation Suitability & Safety Assessment

A structured screening to help professionals evaluate whether mediation is potentially appropriate — never a determination of legal rights.

This screening does not decide whether mediation is legally permitted, legally prohibited, or legally required. It supports professional judgment.

MIFT is an educational and professional decision-support framework. It does not provide legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, determine jurisdiction, or replace the judgment of appropriately licensed professionals.

MIFT is not intended to delay urgent judicial, administrative, or Central Authority action. Users should promptly consult qualified counsel regarding applicable Hague Convention procedures and deadlines.
