Family Law Help for Plano, a Short Drive Up the Tollway
Pfister Family Law represents Plano residents from our Frisco office at 5300 Town and Country Blvd, a short drive north on the Dallas North Tollway. Plano families come to us for divorce, custody, support and modifications, and many come with financial questions that need careful attention.
Divorce When Careers and Compensation Are Complicated
Plano's Legacy business area is home to several corporate headquarters, and many Plano clients bring restricted stock units, stock options, bonuses, deferred compensation and 401(k) plans into a divorce. Some own closely held businesses. Each asset has to be identified, characterized as community or separate property, valued and divided in a way the court will approve. Retirement plans such as a 401(k) are commonly divided with a qualified domestic relations order. We bring in financial professionals when a case calls for it. Read more on our high net worth divorce page and in our guide to dividing a 401(k).
Collin County or Denton County
Most of Plano is in Collin County, where family cases are heard in McKinney, but a small part of the city is in Denton County, where cases are heard in Denton. We confirm the right county for your case before anything is filed.
Custody for Busy Plano Parents
Texas courts decide custody based on the best interest of the child. Plano parents often juggle long workdays, travel and packed activity schedules on top of the Plano ISD calendar. We help build possession schedules and parenting plans that can actually work, and we pursue modifications when an old order no longer fits.
Experienced Family Law Attorneys
The firm is led by John J. Pfister Jr., board-certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, together with Jacob Jeffries, also board-certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and associate attorney Dakota Mayr.
Frequently Asked Questions for Plano Families
Are stock options and RSUs divided in a Texas divorce?
They can be. How they are treated often depends on when they were granted, when they vest and what the plan documents say, so we review those documents early in the case.
I own a business in Plano. Will my spouse get part of it?
It depends on the facts, including when the business was started or acquired and how it changed during the marriage. Some businesses need a professional valuation. See our article on divorce for business owners.
Do I have to go to an office in Plano?
No. We meet Plano clients at our Frisco office, by video, or by appointment at our Prosper office.
