MORTE BARRACHINA, Elena  and  LILA MURILLO, Marisol. The alternative to the conflict: Familiar Meeting Point. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2007, vol.16, n.3, pp.289-302. ISSN 2173-4712.

This paper describes a Family Meeting Point. It is conceived as a neutral and appropriate space that favours and makes possible the maintenance of the relationships between the minor and his family when, in a situation of separation, divorce, or foster families, the exercise of the right of visits is interrupted, or its fulfillment is difficult or conflictive. It is a positive alternative to the traditional systems of interchange established to date. In view of the fact that the possible conflict and tension in the relations between progenitors, it serves as mediating space in the relations and supports the interaction between non custodial parent and the minor, preserving his rights and well-being. The present article tries to explain what a meeting point is, how this initiative appeared, and which its social demand is at the present time.

Keywords : Meeting point; Social resource; Right of visits; Family; Maintenance of the relationships; Non-custodial parent; Minor.
