Fel fi, mae’r Aelodau hefyd wedi bod yn bryderus am natur wrthwynebol achosion cyfraith breifat. Rwyf felly’n croesawu cynigion fydd yn cynorthwyo rhieni sy’n gwahanu i weithio gyda’i gilydd i wneud trefniadau ar gyfer bywydau eu plant, gan leihau’r angen i fynd ag achosion o’r fath drwy’r llysoedd, a chanolbwyntio’n glir ar anghenion eu plant. Rwy’n gwbl gefnogol i gynlluniau i’w gwneud yn orfodol i ystyried gwasanaeth cyfryngu ac rydym ni mewn safle da yng Nghymru drwy ein hagenda Hawliau Plant a’n pwyslais ar hawliau a rheolaeth y dinesydd, i gynorthwyo hyn, a fydd yn amlwg er budd y plentyn, gan roi rhagor o lais a rheolaeth i blant a theuluoedd.
Like me, Members have also been concerned about the adversarial nature of private law cases. I welcome therefore, proposals which will support separating parents in working together to make arrangements about their children’s lives, and reducing the need to take such cases through the courts, and focussing clearly on their children’s needs. I fully support plans to make consideration of mediation compulsory and we are well placed in Wales through our Children’s Rights agenda and focus on citizens rights and control, to support this which will clearly be in the best interests of the child, providing greater voice and control to children and families.
