摘要
This article examines whether empowerment through mediation actually produces tangible outcomes for divorcing couples in a random selection of 120 mediated and nonmediated divorce cases in Harris County, Texas. Data analysis supports the hypothesis: mediated cases result in more changes to the state-ordered possessory arrangement governing access to children than nonmediated cases. A discussion of the significance of the findings for mediators is included.
