I hired this law firm to assist me with my divorce and they made it an extremely easy process. Would definitely recommend.

We hired Albin Oldner Law, PLLC to represent our child custody modification case. We were very pleased with the firm and their positive attitude towards going after what we wanted to accomplish while working to keep our costs reasonable. The attorneys at Albin Oldner Law, PLLC are very personable and treat their clients as people rather than just another case.

My husband’s custody battle was difficult. We spent thousands of dollars and years being taken to court for frivolous reasons. Within 18 months, your law firm was able to end it. You listened to what had happened previously, the strategies that had been used against us, and a strategy was recommended. In a court known to favor moms, our attorney not only encouraged the court to see what was going on, she managed to persuade the court to grant all my husband’s requests.

Family law is personal—and never simple
Our Texas family law attorneys in Frisco listen intently to grasp your situation, concerns, and aspirations. The thought of courtroom battles can be daunting; many prefer swift, cost-effective resolutions outside of court. Whether through negotiation, mediation or, if necessary, litigation, we’re prepared to advocate for your best outcomes.
We also acknowledge the emotional weight of family law cases. Beyond legal assistance, we offer emotional support, connecting you with counseling and support groups as needed to ensure you feel valued and supported during these trying times.
Real-life challenges need real support
At Albin Oldner Law in Frisco, TX, we understand what’s at stake. Family law challenges come with layers of complexity, from navigating co-parenting dynamics to protecting your children’s wellbeing, dividing property fairly, or finding a path forward after trauma.
Solutions that fit your family
While some situations require courtroom advocacy, many families are better served by cooperative solutions that avoid drawn-out legal battles. We guide you through mediation, negotiation, or litigation—whichever path leads to the best possible outcome for your family.
Prioritizing your children’s wellbeing
Family law is rarely just about the law. That’s why we connect clients with trusted counselors, support groups, and other resources when emotional support is needed. You’re not just a case file—you’re a person navigating a major life change.
Protecting what matters most
Whether you’re dealing with domestic violence, dividing a business, or exploring adoption, we offer steady, strategic guidance every step of the way. Your safety, your children’s future, and your financial security are our priorities.
Our compassionate Frisco attorneys have experience handling all types of family law cases
Our expertise encompasses a broad range of family law in Frisco, TX, including the following.
Divorce
Navigating the end—or temporary pause—of a marriage requires both legal precision and emotional sensitivity. Our Frisco attorneys work to ensure that each client experiences a fair, respectful process, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
Spousal support
We help determine fair and sustainable spousal maintenance arrangements, taking into account each spouse’s financial circumstances and future needs, to promote stability after a divorce.
Prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements
Our team drafts and reviews legally sound agreements that protect individual assets, clarify financial expectations, and prevent future disputes—whether before or after marriage.
Modifications of court orders
Life circumstances change, and existing orders for custody, support, or visitation may no longer reflect what’s best. We assist clients in modifying court orders to better align with current realities.
Adoption
Whether adopting a stepchild, relative, or through an agency, our attorneys guide families through the legal requirements to expand their families with confidence and compliance.
Complex property division
High-asset divorces often involve business interests, real estate, investments, and retirement accounts. We work to ensure an equitable division that protects our clients’ financial futures.
Child custody disputes and support
In custody matters, the child’s best interest is paramount. We advocate for parenting plans and support arrangements that nurture stability and ensure the child’s needs are met.
Domestic violence and protective orders
Your safety is our priority. We help clients obtain protective orders and navigate the legal system to secure immediate and long-term protection from abuse or threats.
Paternity establishment
Establishing paternity is crucial for asserting parental rights or securing child support. We help both mothers and alleged fathers through the legal process of confirming paternity.
Same-sex marriage and divorce
We understand the unique legal challenges that same-sex couples may face in marriage or separation and offer compassionate, knowledgeable guidance tailored to each situation.
International family law issues
Cross-border custody disputes, relocation, or international divorce proceedings require an attorney familiar with global family law. We provide strategic support for these complex cases.

We answer common questions about family law matters in Frisco
If you’re facing domestic violence, immediate steps include obtaining a protective order, which legally restricts the abuser from contacting or coming near you. Our attorneys can guide you through this process to ensure your safety.
Child custody in Texas is determined based on the best interests of the child, considering factors like parental abilities, the child’s needs, and any history of family violence. Courts encourage joint custody arrangements whenever possible.
Yes, child support and custody orders can be modified if there’s been a significant change in circumstances since the last order was issued, such as changes in income, relocation, or changes in the child’s needs.
If you need to relocate with your child, you may need to seek a modification of your custody order. It’s essential to consult with an attorney to navigate this process, as you’ll need to demonstrate that the relocation is in the child’s best interest.
