STRONG ADVOCACY.

STEADY GUIDANCE.

We protect your family, your rights, and your future—with facts, not theatrics.

CONFLICT MEDIATION

Solutions without the courtroom chaos.

Not every family dispute needs to become a fight. Mediation gives you a chance to reach real, enforceable agreements without putting your life—and your kids—through the stress of trial. It’s not about being agreeable; it’s about being strategic.

Here at HPF, we use mediation to bring clarity and closure where possible, and focus litigation only where it’s truly needed. Our attorneys know what judges expect and use that insight to help clients craft practical resolutions that hold up.

Our approach to mediation:

Focus on facts and outcomes, not emotional crossfire
Build realistic agreements that can be enforces if necessary
Maintain firm boundaries—mediation doesn’t mean surrender
Keep children’s stability and safety as the top priority

We don’t waste time on chaos. We help you find a way forward that actually works.

PROTECTION FROM ABUSE / STALKING

Fast, safety driven action when you need it most.

When safety is at stake, timing and precision matter. A Protection From Abuse (PFA) or Protection From Stalking (PFS) order can stop harassment, threats, or violence—but it can also carry serious long-term consequences for both sides.

At Hartenstein Poor & Foster, we act quickly and decisively. Whether you need protection or have been served with an order, we’ll help you understand the process, gather the evidence, and present your case clearly and effectively. Our trauma-informed approach means we prioritize safety, stability and truth, not courtroom theatrics.

Our team handles:

Emergency and temporary PFA/S filings
Defense against false or exaggerated allegations
Hearing preparation and representation
Order violations and enforcement
Long-term safety planning and related custody impacts

Bottom line: you deserve protection—and a defense that doesn’t take chances.

DIVORCE

Fast, safety driven action when you need it most.

Clear strategy. Firm Boundaries. No games.

A divorce isn’t just paperwork—it’s one of the most disruptive legal and emotional transitions a person can face. We don’t downplay it, and we don’t drag it out. Our focus is on facts, fairness, and forward movement.

We cut through the noise and get to the truth of your situation—assets, custody, finances and safety. Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, we build a plan that fits your reality, not someone else’s playbook.

We hande:

Contested & uncontested divorces
Property & asset division
Temporary orders & protective measures
Support & custody coordination
Post-divorce modifications & enforcement

You don’t need theatrics—you need a plan, a strategy, and someone who won’t blink when things get tough.

CUSTODY & PARENTING TIME

Child-first plans. Boundaries that hold.

Custody disputes can turn personal fast—but court orders aren’t built on emotion. They’re built on facts, safety, and what’s best for the child. Our job is to keep the focus where it belongs: protecting your child’s stability while securing your rights as a parent.

We understand how high the stakes are when family dynamics meet court timelines. We help parents build strong, enforceable plans that prioritize children’s well-being while keeping unnecessary conflict out of the picture.

Our focus:

Legal & physical custody arrangements
Parenting-time schedules & modifications
Emergency & temporary orders
Interstate or relocation matters
Contempt or enforcement actions

We protect your role as a parent and your child’s right to stability—because both matter equally.

CHILD SUPPORT

Real numbers. Real accountability.

Child support isn’t guesswork—it’s math, evidence, and law. Whether you’re paying or receiving, every calculation should be rooted in facts, not assumptions. We make sure the numbers are right, the process is transparent, and the outcome is enforceable.

Here at HPF, we don’t let paperwork or confusion decide your case. We dig into income, expenses, and changes in circumstance to build a clear, accurate support picture that holds up in court.
