This research is a qualitative with a case study. The data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation to the parties in the relevant research locations. The results of this study indicate that the Donggala Religious Court Class IB has implemented the practice of implementing mediation in accordance with the provisions of the Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2016. However, the results of its implementation show that its effectiveness is still very small; this is evidenced by the high number of divorces each year. From the data on the number of divorces, it shows that divorce tends to increase which is dominated by divorce due to continuous disputes.
