About Skymark Mediation

Our Mission

At Skymark Mediation, we know that YOU are the best person to make decisions for your future. We will help you through the process, make sure you are fully informed, and guide you through potentially difficult conversations. It is our commitment to help clients move forward with collaborative understanding, respect and dignity.

Who We Are

We are mediators who understand that every client's situation is unique. We aim to support our clients' evolving needs during a dynamic period in their lives. Our dedication to our clients has led us to complete additional trainings, like the Divorce Mediation Training Program through the New York State Counsel on Divorce Mediation (NYSCDM). We have also acquired certifications for Crisis Intervention, Trauma Resources, Mental Health First Aid, and Emotional Survival, to name a few. We are also Part 146 Approved, which approves us to serve on court rosters throughout New York State. At Skymark we are dedicated to providing an all-encompassing service to our clients.

What Makes Skymark Unique

Specialized Experience

At Skymark Mediation, in addition to our long list of certifications aimed toward client satisfaction, we also have nearly 15 years' experience with the NYS retirement system. Choosing mediators that have firsthand experience with a pension system helps ensure that you are fully informed.

Convenience

Skymark is focused on customer satisfaction. Busy schedule? Too far away? No sitter? No problem! We see many of our clients via ZOOM. We'll bring the mediation to the comfort and convenience of your screen.

Personal Experience

Education, certifications, and professional experience are great. However, there's nothing like personal experience. Our mediators have experienced divorce mediation as a client. They know firsthand the mix of emotions, stress, fear, and uncertainty that can come with the process of divorce. They also know how beneficial a successful mediation process can be for the future of the families involved. We're here to get you there.

Mediation Services

Please reach out to us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Anyone considering divorce, separation, having issues with a marriage, a domestic partnership, or with any other family issues.  People choosing mediation should desire an amicable, collaborative process designed for them to make the best decisions possible for their future. This client led, collaborative process helps to ensure lasting results.

Mediation is client led. This means that YOU collaborate to make the best decisions for YOUR future. There is nobody more qualified to make decisions about your/your family's future than you. Mediation can save time and money, all while supporting positive communication that will help ensure a strong agreement that will last without incident. You pay one mediator an hourly rate, rather than paying two separate attorneys. 

Agreements through mediation can usually be completed in a couple of months. Every situation is unique, and clients pick the pace of the mediation. This differs from litigated separations/divorces which depend on attorney and court availability. It's not uncommon for litigated divorces to take a year or more. 

First, schedule your consultation. During your consultation the process will be laid out for you in more detail and provide you an opportunity to ask questions. After the consultation you can generally expect 3-4 sessions, ranging from 1-1.5 hours in length. Time between sessions can vary depending on client availability. After agreements have been reached on all topics, the mediator will draft a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). An MOU is a document outlining the agreement that can be converted into a formal separation/divorce agreement. Both parties will review the MOU with the mediator during the final session. After the MOU is approved by both parties it will go to an attorney, who will put the contents of the MOU in a Separation/Divorce agreement and send it to court for final approval. If clients do not already have an attorney, we have trusted attorneys we recommend. 

***Even if you go to an attorney for a 'mediation' a separate attorney would have to sign the separation/divorce agreement and send it to court.
