Strategic divorce representation in Frisco and Collin County.
Divorce is one of the most significant legal and personal decisions you will face. Our firm brings decades of experience representing clients across Frisco, Collin County, and North Texas through every stage of the divorce process, from filing through final decree.
We work to protect your financial interests, your parental rights, and your future, with a strategy built around your specific circumstances and goals.
Understanding the divorce process in Texas.
Texas divorce cases follow a structured process, beginning with filing the initial petition and continuing through a mandatory waiting period before a final decree can be entered. Along the way, spouses must reach agreement, or the court must decide, on how property will be divided, whether support will be paid, and how any children will be cared for.
We guide clients through each stage of this process, keeping them informed and prepared for what comes next.
Contested and uncontested divorce.
Not every divorce follows the same path. When both spouses agree on the major terms, an uncontested divorce can often be resolved efficiently. When disagreements arise over property, support, or children, a divorce may require negotiation, mediation, or litigation to reach a resolution.
We represent clients across the full spectrum, from straightforward uncontested cases to highly contested disputes, and tailor our approach to match the realities of each case. Learn more about our approach to uncontested divorce and high-conflict divorce.
Property division in divorce.
Texas is a community property state, meaning most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are subject to division. We work to identify, value, and fairly divide property, from the marital home to retirement accounts, business interests, and more.
For cases involving significant or complex assets, our firm has particular experience protecting client interests in high-net-worth divorce matters.
Protecting your children through the process.
When children are involved, custody and support arrangements become part of the divorce. We help parents reach parenting plans and support agreements that reflect the best interests of their children while protecting parental rights. Learn more about our approach to child custody and child support.
A client-focused approach you can trust.
Divorce is deeply personal, and the attorney you choose matters. We take time to listen, explain your options clearly, and build a strategy around what matters most to you, providing steady guidance from start to finish.

Quick Answers
Common questions, answered
What are the residency requirements to file for divorce in Texas?
At least one spouse must have lived in Texas for six months and in the filing county for 90 days before the petition is filed. For Frisco, Plano, Allen, McKinney and Prosper residents, that usually means filing in Collin County, or Denton County for parts of Frisco and Prosper.
Is there a waiting period for divorce in Texas?
Yes. A Texas court generally cannot grant a divorce until at least 60 days after the petition is filed. The court can skip the waiting period in limited family violence situations, such as when the other spouse has a family violence conviction against the filing spouse or there is an active protective order. Many cases take longer than 60 days, especially when custody or property is disputed.
Do I have to prove fault to get a divorce in Texas?
No. Texas allows a no-fault divorce on the ground of insupportability, which means the marriage cannot continue because of conflict or discord. Fault grounds such as adultery or cruelty also exist, and a judge may consider fault when dividing property.
