Solving Family Disputes with Integrity and Civility
Going through a divorce or any type of family law dispute is never easy. You will be making critical decisions that will affect your and your family’s future. Hiring the right attorney is the first — and most important — step. Make sure you have a lawyer with experience and who is willing to listen and share your commitment to finding the best possible outcome. I am attorney PJ Hartman, in Albuquerque. I practice exclusively in the area of New Mexico divorce and family law, and I am a board-certified family law specialist.* Over my 25 years of experience, I have dealt with all types of domestic relations disputes, and have built a strong track record for helping people reach effective solutions that protect their best interests now and into the future.
Resolving Divorce Conflict By Stressing The Benefits Of Negotiation And Mediation
Supported by an experienced professional staff, I place a special focus on helping my clients resolve their disputes outside of traditional contested divorce litigation, by guiding couples through a comprehensive and balanced approach to divorce.>
I work to find common ground to resolve differences amicably. Whether through skillful negotiations or a formal mediation process, clients usually find they emerge from the process in a better place and are able to resolve future issues with their ex-spouse more effectively.
Achieving Solutions In All Aspects Of Family Law
Most divorces do not just involve signing a paper to end a marriage. I will help you address every issue you are dealing with, including:
- Creating a parenting plan that is in the child’s best interest
- Finding a child custody arrangementthat protects your parental rights and helps your children adjust to their new lives
- Ensuring your children’s needs are metwith fair child support payments
- Dividing marital propertywith a focus on helping you protect your most valued assets
- Calculating and modifying child support and spousal support
And you won’t have to worry about being passed down to an associate attorney. I will stay involved with you after a final agreement is reached. And if the final judgment isn’t working out as you and your ex-spouse had intended, I can walk you through the modification process to help adjust for changing family needs.

Testimonials
“PJ was able to get me the support I needed for my child from my ex. She was very aggressive in the courtroom and she helped me maintain primary custody of my child. I could not have done this without her help and I am very thankful for that.”
I highly recommend PJ Hartman and her paralegal Michael, they both gave me great support through a difficult time in my life, they surpassed my expectation of the outcome of my divorce. If you need someone to take care of your divorce give her a call. I still can’t believe the outcome.
