| Sumario: | This scientific article, entitled “Children’s right to be heard in family mediation: What? How? Why?”, aimed to analyze, from a doctrinal and legal perspective, children’s right to be heard through the family mediation process in Mexico in order to identify areas for improvement. A qualitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and propositional approach was used. The problem identified was the existence of inconsistencies and shortcomings in the regulations that restrict the right of children and adolescents to participate in mediation sessions, a situation that violates Articles 3, 5, and 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The results showed that family mediation impacts the exercise of children’s rights, particularly the right to be heard, although there is limited information available on this topic. In conclusion, it was found that the practice of family mediation should be prioritized as it is a method that guarantees children’s rights when conflict arises. |
