In 2004, Norway implemented new procedural rules for court-connected mediation between parents involved in disputes with each other, making the process more flexible. However, there is limited knowledge about parents’ experiences with court-connected mediation following the implementation of this model. This paper will contribute to existing research on both general and court-connected parental mediation by presenting the results of twenty-in-depth interviews conducted before and after mediation in court. Qualitative content analysis revealed the parents’ perceptions of the legal system, including views about how the court helped them find solutions that were in their child’s/children’s best interests and enabled them to communicate more effectively about issues related to their child/children. The results indicate that the parents were primarily satisfied with the structure of the “Conflict and Reconciliation” model, which should be considered in future developments of mediation in parental disputes.
