Abstract
Currently, the voice of the child is limitedly present in divorce mediation. He or she is only engaged when the court discerns the necessity through child-inclusive dispute resolution. This paper proposes that the starting point for all divorce mediations should be to first engage the child in mediation through a Child Advocate, bringing the voice of the child to the table.
