Where Denton County Cases Are Heard
The city of Denton is the county seat, and Denton County's district and family courts sit in the Denton County Courts Building at 1450 East McKinney Street in Denton. Several district courts there hear family cases, and each posts its own policies and scheduling forms. Knowing those local expectations helps us prepare and keep your case on track.
Cities That Cross the County Line
Several cities we serve, including Frisco, Prosper, Celina and Plano, sit partly in Denton County and partly in Collin County. Which county your case belongs in depends on where you live and how long you have lived there. Texas law generally requires that one spouse has lived in Texas for six months and in the filing county for 90 days before a divorce is filed. We confirm this at your first meeting.
Communities We Serve
We help families in Denton, Lewisville, Flower Mound, The Colony, Little Elm, Argyle, Aubrey, Corinth, Highland Village and the Denton County parts of Frisco, Prosper and Celina. Families in the eastern part of the county often find Frisco or Prosper closer than the courthouse.
How We Help
We handle divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, modifications, enforcement and appeals. If you live in the Denton County part of Frisco, our Frisco divorce attorney page may also help.
Who You Will Work With
John J. Pfister Jr., the firm's founder, is board-certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Jacob Jeffries is also board-certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Associate attorney Dakota Mayr works alongside them.
Frequently Asked Questions About Denton County Family Law
Where is the Denton County family courthouse?
Family cases are heard at the Denton County Courts Building, 1450 East McKinney Street, Denton, TX 76209.
Will my Denton County divorce go to mediation?
It may. Texas law lets the court refer a divorce to mediation, either on its own or when the spouses agree, and many cases settle there. A spouse who has experienced family violence can object, and the court must address that objection.
Do I need to meet you in Denton?
No. Most clients meet us in Frisco, in Prosper by appointment or by video. We tell you ahead of time when a court date requires you to be in Denton.
