PROUDLY SERVING COLLIN COUNTY
Experienced family lawyers protecting what matters most.
Family Law Across Collin County
Collin County is one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, and its family law needs have grown with it. Pfister Family Law serves the county from two offices: our main office at 5300 Town and Country Blvd, Suite 110, in Frisco, and our by-appointment office at 291 South Preston Rd, Suite 140, in Prosper. Call 972-712-6700 to reach either one.
How Collin County Family Cases Work
Family cases filed in Collin County are heard by the district courts at 2100 Bloomdale Road in McKinney, the county seat. Under Texas law, a court may refer a divorce to mediation, and many cases settle there. Temporary orders are often addressed early to cover custody, support and use of the home while the case is pending. Where a city crosses the county line, as Frisco, Prosper, Plano and Celina do, your address helps decide whether the case belongs in Collin County or Denton County.
Find Your Community
Every city in the county has its own character, and we wrote a page for the ones we serve most. In Frisco, our home base, many cases involve dual-career families and Frisco ISD schedules. In Prosper, where we have an office, newer homes and fast growth shape property questions. Plano clients often bring stock compensation and business assets, while McKinney families live closest to the courthouse. Families in Celina often meet us in Prosper. We also help families in Allen, Wylie, Murphy and Little Elm, and across the line in Denton County.

Frequently Asked Questions About Collin County Family Law
How long do I have to live in Collin County before filing for divorce?
Under Texas Family Code Section 6.301, one spouse generally must have lived in Texas for the past six months and in the filing county for the past 90 days. We confirm how this applies to you at your first meeting.
Will my case go to mediation?
Often, yes. Texas law lets the court refer a divorce to mediation, either on its own or when the spouses agree. A spouse who has experienced family violence can object to mediation, and the court must then take that into account.
Which office should I visit?
Our Frisco office suits most of the county. Our Prosper office is by appointment and is often easier for families in Prosper, Celina and northern Collin County.
