Title: "Mediator Efforts in Achieving Peace in Divorce Cases at the Payakumbuh Religious Court Class IB" Islamic Family Law (HKI) Study Program, Postgraduate Program, Mahmud Yunus State Islamic University (UIN) Batusangkar, 2025. The topic of this research is the implementation of mediation conducted by mediators, both judge mediators and non-judge mediators, in divorce cases at the Payakumbuh Religious Court Class IB. The objective is to reveal and analyze mediator efforts in achieving peace through mediation within the Religious Court as a non-litigation dispute resolution method. The research method used is field research with a qualitative approach. Primary data sources include mediators, both judges and non-judge mediators. Secondary data sources include mediation data from the Junior Registrar of Law (PanMud), related journals, the Payakumbuh Religious Court website, and other data sources supporting this research. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews with judge mediators and non-judge mediators at the Payakumbuh Religious Court Class IB and documentation. The analysis techniques used were data reduction, data display, and conclusions. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of data sources. This study yielded several findings: First, mediators, both judges and non-judges, should adhere to Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016 concerning Mediation Procedures in Religious Courts to ensure successful mediation. This regulation generally regulates the process, but technically, to reach an agreement, mediators can use a variety of resolution methods that are best suited to the parties. In the pre-mediation phase, the mediator is appointed by the panel chairperson as agreed by the parties. In the mediation phase, the mediator is ready to carry out his or her duties. A fully successful mediation means peace, or the parties are reconciled, as evidenced by the existence of a settlement agreement that must include the withdrawal of the lawsuit or a clause stating that the case has been resolved. A partially successful mediation means a divorce, but the rights resulting from the divorce must be fulfilled by creating a partial settlement agreement with the mediator. Second, The difficulties or challenges faced by mediators during mediation include the egos of each party without considering the effects of the divorce, intervention by other parties, both internal and external, and lack of prior communication. Third, the approaches used by mediators in carrying out their duties include religious, heart-to-heart, and psychological approaches. The author's analysis shows that, in the mediation process, both judges and non-judges mediators strive to provide advice and counsel according to tricks and methods that take into account the emotional, psychological, and social aspects of the disputing parties.
