PROUDLY SERVING MCKINNEY & COLLIN COUNTY
Experienced family lawyers protecting what matters most.
Family Law in the Collin County Seat
McKinney is the county seat of Collin County, and the county's district courts sit at 2100 Bloomdale Road in McKinney. That means most Collin County divorce and custody cases, whether the family lives in Frisco, Allen or Celina, are heard in McKinney. For McKinney families, the courthouse is close to home.
Why Local Procedure Matters
Each district court sets its own policies on scheduling, hearings and trial settings, and many post them on the Collin County website. Knowing what a court expects helps us prepare your case and give you realistic expectations about timing.
Divorce for McKinney Families
From historic downtown to Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch and Trinity Falls, McKinney families range from long-time residents to new arrivals. We handle uncontested divorce when spouses agree, and contested and high-conflict divorce when they do not. We help clients understand how the home, retirement accounts and debts may be divided and how to protect separate property.
Custody and Support
Custody decisions turn on the best interest of the child. We help McKinney parents build possession schedules around their children's school calendar, whether that is McKinney ISD, Frisco ISD, Prosper ISD or another district, and we handle child support, enforcement and modifications.
