This paper aims to investigate the challenges and opportunities of mediating family conflicts. From the mediator s perspective, the specific objectives are to research the repercussions of conjugality on parenting performance and map intervention strategies used by mediators. Therefore, qualitative research was performed with the participation of eight mediators: four from the field of Health and four from Law. The data collected through semi-structured interviews were the subject of the content analysis method in the categorical aspect and presented in two papers. Several categories of analysis emerged from the narratives. The first paper debated the category of repercussions of conjugality on parenting in the context of family conflict mediation, broken down into two subcategories: stagnant views and difficulty in differentiating the marital pair from the parental couple, and the impacts of conflictual parenting on children. The outcomes demonstrated that difficulties determining the marriage pair from the parental couple may result in the reproduction of conflictual marital dynamics in parenting, with harmful consequences for children. The second article discussed the category mediators interventions, broken down into two subcategories: inclusive and feedback listening; and external interventions to restore trust. The results indicated that attentive listening to possibilities (inclusive listening) and, at the same time, indicative of the topics to be addressed (feedback listening) may assist in the auto implication, protagonism and collaboration. They also indicated the relevance of holding private meetings and concluding provisional agreements in an attempt to restore trust. It was concluded that the family conflict mediators should adopt a proactive attitude in order to assist in building a partnership in parenting and promoting the transformation of the familiar system, despite the psychic difficulties inherent to the dissolution of conjugality.
