Who I Am

Sarah Armstrong grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and completed her bachelor’s degree from the University of New Mexico in Journalism & Mass Communication in 2001. Sarah continued her education by obtaining her law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., after which she returned to Albuquerque. In 2004, she was sworn in as a member of the State Bar of New Mexico and has since remained in practice in Albuquerque. Sarah has been active in providing legal education to other practitioners throughout her career. She is currently the chair of the Family Law Section of the State Bar of New Mexico and has served on the Domestic Relations Rules Committee since being appointed by the New Mexico Supreme Court in 2018.

Sarah practices state-wide in the areas of family law and domestic relations, including divorce, custody, visitation, adoption, child support, spousal support, and complex property division. She firmly believes that a thorough knowledge of both the substantive law and all available methods of resolution, from full-blown litigation to one-on-one mediation, is essential to achieving the best possible outcomes for her clients.

Sarah has completed more than 100 hours of training in alternative dispute resolution and has been formally trained in Collaborative Divorce since 2013. Sarah strives to problem-solve creatively for her clients and their families. Helping people through the legal process by developing equitable solutions provides Sarah with the opportunity to be of service to her community. She utilizes her training in mediation and settlement facilitation, as well her interdisciplinary education, to both advocate for her clients and to support them throughout the divorce and custody process.

When she is not at the office, Sarah spends as much time as possible with her husband, her two sons and her extended family. She is still trying her best to garden and she always enjoys a good book or podcast.
