Resumen
En la legislación ecuatoriana se reconocen y se encuentran regulados métodos alternativos de solución de conflictos MASC, tales como: la mediación, la conciliación, el arbitraje y la negociación. Estos procedimientos nos permiten resolver un conflicto sin recurrir a la vía ordinaria, la legislación ecuatoriana también incorpora dentro de audiencia, una fase especial dedicada a la búsqueda de solución del conflicto mediante un acuerdo conciliatorio "Fase de Conciliación" , previa a la etapa de juicio, en esta fase las partes comparecientes puedan dar fin al conflicto generado, llegando a un acuerdo amistoso previo a la continuación de la acción judicial. En Ecuador existen varias formas legales de solucionar un conflicto familiar, la que más se utiliza es la vía jurisdiccional tradicional, la cual se ventila ante un juez imparcial, quien decide a la luz de la prueba aportada por las partes, en concordancia con lo que establece el ordenamiento jurídico. Otra vía para solucionar conflictos familiares es la mediación familiar, la cual permite, a través de un proceso de estabilización emocional de los involucrados, alcanzar acuerdos que pongan fin al conflicto familiar más duraderos, eficaces y de cumplimiento voluntario, resolviendo no solo el conflicto jurídico, sino que, dependiendo de la calidad del acuerdo, puede resolver los conflictos internos de los involucrados que originaron el conflicto jurídico. Por esta razón, la Mediación Familiar se constituye en una herramienta muy útil para la solución de conflictos de esta naturaleza, ya que involucra y abarca aspectos y puntos de vista importantes que no son atendidos o lo son de manera deficiente por la justicia ordinaria. Aquí radica su importancia y la necesidad de contribuir con un estudio más profundo de su alcance y los resultados que puede ofrecer. Los conflictos familiares, por su naturaleza, son diferentes de las demás clases de conflictos que la administración de justicia soluciona en una sociedad: las relaciones de familia cuentan con un componente emocional muy importante y determinante al momento de condicionar las acciones y pensamientos de los miembros de una familia. Este componente se intensifica cuando se presentan intereses incompatibles de sus miembros que generalmente desembocan en conflictos familiares. La justicia ordinaria provee procedimientos estandarizados de solución de conflictos familiares, mismos que se concentran en la obtención de prueba conforme las reglas procedimentales del ordenamiento jurídico vigente, sin importar que para la obtención de los medios probatorios necesarios se exponga a los miembros más vulnerables de la familia a experiencias traumáticas de exposición emocional frente a terceros (jueces, psicólogos, trabajadores sociales, etc.), de sus pensamientos, sentimientos y vivencias íntimas, causando un costo emocional muy alto; cosa que no sucede en la mediación familiar, ya que, su procedimiento y su fin es diferente, y en cuanto al costo emocional, al ser una de los aspectos que trata de forma directa previo a la búsqueda de un acuerdo que ponga fin al conflicto, el grado de afectación a los involucrados es evidentemente mucho menor
ABSTRACT In Ecuadorian legislation, alternative methods of conflict resolution (AMCR) are recognized and regulated, such as mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and negotiation. These procedures allow us to resolve a conflict without resorting to ordinary legal process, Ecuadorian law also incorporates a special phase within the hearing dedicated to seeking a solution to the conflict through a conciliatory agreement known as the "Conciliation Phase," prior to the trial stage. In this phase, the parties involved can bring an end to the generated conflict by reaching a friendly agreement before proceeding to the judicial action. In Ecuador, there are several legal ways to resolve a family conflict. The most commonly used is the traditional judicial route, which is heard before an impartial judge who decides based on the evidence provided by the parties, in accordance with legal provisions. Another avenue for resolving family conflicts is family mediation, which, through a process of emotional stabilization of the involved parties, allows for the creation of more enduring, effective, and voluntarily compliant agreements, not only resolving the legal conflict but, depending on the quality of the agreement, addressing internal conflicts of those involved that led to the legal dispute. For this reason, Family Mediation becomes a very useful tool for resolving conflicts othis nature, as it involves and addresses important aspects and perspectives that are either not considered or are inadequately addressed by the ordinary justice system. Hence, its importance lies in the need to contribute to a more in-depth study of its scope and the results it can offer. Family conflicts, due to their nature, differ from other types of conflicts resolved by the justice system in society; family relationships have a highly significant and determining emotional component that conditions the actions and thoughts of family members. This component intensifies when incompatible interests among family members arise, usually leading to family conflicts. The ordinary justice system provides standardized procedures for resolving family conflicts, focusing on obtaining evidence according to procedural rules, regardless of exposing the most vulnerable family members to traumatie experiences of emotional exposure to third parties (judges, psychologists, social workers, etc.), sharing their thoughts, feelings, and intimate experiences, causing a very high emotional cost. This is not the case in family mediation, as its procedure and purpose are different, and regarding the emotional cost, addressing it directly before seeking an agreement to end the conflict results in significantly less impact on those involved.
