The family as the fundamental nucleus of society has as a function to be protec­tive, to provide sustenance, to educate and to promote the development of each individual in all areas of the person. It has great relevance in the community because, if this institution fails, the individual can not develop with opti­mal conditions in their role of progress within the community. In the resolution of a conflict generated from the family one can resort to alterna­tive mechanisms of conflict resolution, specifically conciliation to manage the solution of these by means other than the judicial one in which an outcome is sought through the will and the consent of the parties.
