Collin County Family Law Attorney

Lawyer for Divorce, Child Custody, and CPS Matters in Frisco, Little Elm, and Prosper

There are many different types of legal issues that can affect families. The laws that affect these matters can be complex, and determining the best way to approach a case in family court can be difficult. To resolve these issues successfully, it is important to work with an attorney who can explain the laws that affect a family while providing compassionate and dedicated assistance throughout the legal process. At the Law Office of Linda Risinger, we work to ensure that our clients are equipped to address these legal issues. Whether you are planning to end your marriage, working to address matters related to the custody of your children, or need to resolve other legal concerns related to your family, we can provide the legal help you need.

Representation for Divorcing Spouses

Some of the most common family law cases involve couples who have chosen to legally dissolve their marriage. While some divorce cases are fairly straightforward, nearly all of these situations involve some disagreements between spouses, and disputes can become difficult to resolve, leading to additional time and expenses. With the right attorney on their side, a person will be able to understand their rights and their options for resolving divorce-related issues as quickly and easily as possible. We work to help our clients complete uncontested divorces whenever possible, but we are always prepared to advocate on their behalf in the courtroom to protect their rights and financial interests.

We help our clients address multiple types of financial issues during the divorce process, including in high net worth divorce cases and other types of situations. We assist with property division, including addressing issues such as retirement benefits, business valuation, and real estate. We also help spouses understand divorce-related tax considerations, advise them on using social media during divorce, and assist with post-divorce enforcement and modifications.

Legal Help With Family Law Cases

We help clients address multiple types of family law issues, including in cases involving same-sex couples, unmarried parents, and step-parent adoption. We assist with:

• Child Custody & Visitation - While divorcing parents will need to address how they will share custody of their children, unmarried or separated parents may also need to take steps to ensure they have the necessary court orders in place for child custody and child support. In addition to helping parents establish agreements for legal and physical custody, we can assist with cases involving fathers' rights, addiction rehabilitation, and parental relocation.
• Property Agreements - Married couples can protect their rights to property by establishing prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. Unmarried couples can establish some of the rights provided to married spouses by creating a cohabitation agreement.
• Military Family Law - Members of the military may need to address some unique issues in family law cases. We can provide representation during a military divorce, including addressing the division of military retirement benefits.
• Child Protective Services - If a family is being investigated by CPS due to reports of suspected child abuse or neglect, parents will need to secure representation from an attorney who can help them understand their rights and the steps they can take to avoid consequences that may affect the custody of their children.
• Domestic Violence - We work with victims of domestic abuse to ensure that they can receive orders of protection and take steps to leave a harmful situation and protect themselves and their children from further harm.
