Prosper, TX Family Law Attorney

Lawyer for Paternity, and Family Violence Issues in North Texas

Family law disputes are a mix of legal matters, financial concerns, and a wide range of strong emotions that can cloud the issues. Even if a divorce is uncontested, countless details must be worked out between the couple, particularly when there are children involved. Just because it is difficult, however, does not mean that it has to be painful.

Based in Frisco but also serving the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, Pfister Family Law works with clients to determine priorities that ensure that all their rights as an individual and a parent are protected. Sometimes, this can be done through negotiation or mediation with the other side, but we are well-known for our litigation skills, and we find that it is always best to prepare as if the case is going to court. This thoroughness ensures that every issue is considered as we work toward achieving or surpassing our clients' legal goals.

Family Law Services Customized For You

Family law includes a wide range of legal matters. Our attorneys often work with clients to resolve divorce-related matters of all kinds, including:

• Filing for divorce: We strive for fair and equitable results by protecting our clients' best interests, whether this involves drafting an agreement or handling a challenging enforcement or child support matter.
• Child custody and parenting plans: Children's well-being is our priority, so we work toward arrangements that are in the best interests of the kids while still being workable for the parents. We also protect custody rights if Child Protective Services is involved in a case.
• Property division: Texas is a community property state, which does not necessarily mean that all marital assets will be split in half. We always work toward an equitable division of all marital assets acquired during the marriage.
• High-asset divorce: These cases can involve retirement plans, business ownership, stock portfolios, extensive property holdings, and other assets. We can work with experts to accurately value property and ensure that all assets are accounted for or protected when possible.

In addition to divorce-related cases, we are also equipped to help clients with many other family law concerns. These include but are not limited to:

• Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: In the past, these agreements were typically used by couples with a large number of assets, but they can be used by anyone. These contracts can provide a solid financial foundation for the family to move forward, particularly if both spouses work or have been previously married.
• Paternity suits: We work with parents trying to protect or defend parental rights. We also can help enforce support obligations.
• Modifications: We try to plan for all contingencies, including ex-spouses who move, but the unexpected can happen, and children's needs often change. In these situations, we can help ex-spouses or co-parents determine the steps to take to modify court orders.
