Family Law Attorney Serving Denton, Texas

Denton is a growing North Texas city anchored by two major universities, the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University. With a diverse population of students, faculty, long-term residents, and young families. Families here face the full range of family law matters. Divorces involving university employment often require careful analysis of faculty retirement plans, tenure-tied compensation, and benefits packages that do not divide the same way a standard salary does. Custody disputes where one parent holds an academic position add complexity around semester schedules, sabbatical leave, and the possibility of relocation tied to research appointments or a new position at another institution. For families where both parents are connected to the university, income documentation and support calculations require attention to stipends, grant funding, and variable teaching loads that fluctuate by semester. Long-term Denton residents navigating divorce bring their own set of questions around established community ties, school district relationships, and extended family proximity that factor into custody planning. If your family is navigating any of this, we are ready to help.

Why Denton Families Choose The Ramage Law Group

We think four steps ahead. In Denton, that means anticipating issues that come up specifically in university-employment households. Faculty retirement accounts, including TIAA and Optional Retirement Program plans, require their own division and beneficiary analysis before any temporary order is entered. Custody schedules built around academic-year calendars and summer research assignments become the de facto arrangement if they are not addressed in the first month. Relocation risk is also a factor that needs to be planned for early, because an academic job market means a parent’s next position may not be in Denton County, and that changes the custody calculus entirely. The decisions made before the first hearing set the range of outcomes.

Denton County courts, daily. Denton County family law cases are heard at the courthouse on E McKinney Street in Denton — the same courthouse that handles all Denton family law filings. Our attorneys practice there regularly. We know the scheduling patterns, local expectations, and what judges look for in contested matters.

We only take cases we can commit to fully. That is not a sales line. It is how we protect our clients. If we cannot give your case what it needs, we will tell you directly.

Two offices, no distinction. The McKinney and Frisco offices serve the same Denton County courts, carry the same practice capabilities, and operate as one firm. Call either number as your starting point: McKinney (972) 737-4995 or Frisco (972) 736-9808.

What to Expect When You Call

The first call is not a hard sell. It is an intake conversation with someone who is trained to listen to what is happening before we start analyzing. We take the time to understand your situation.

The consultation follows. It is a direct legal conversation: what your matter actually involves, what the process looks like from here, and what this firm brings to it. We speak plainly, including about the parts that are harder to hear.

Consultation meetings can happen in person at either office, by phone, or by video.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Denton family law cases filed?

All family law cases for Denton residents are filed with the Denton County District Clerk and heard at the Denton County Courthouse, 1450 E McKinney Street, Denton, TX 76209.

Which office should I call, McKinney or Frisco?

Either office can handle your case. McKinney at (972) 737-4995 and Frisco at (972) 736-9808 serve the same Denton County courts and operate the same way. Call whichever is easier.

Do I have to come into the office?

No. Consultations and ongoing meetings are available by phone or video. If you prefer to meet in person, both our McKinney and Frisco offices are available at any stage of your case.

My divorce involves significant assets. Is that something you handle?

Yes. Business interests, stock and equity compensation, retirement accounts, real estate, and community property questions are a core part of what we do.

Can you handle a custody case and a school dispute at the same time?

Yes. Special education law is a core practice area, and having both matters at the same firm means you are not coordinating between two separate legal teams, managing two sets of deadlines, or repeating your family’s story twice. Our founder spent 12 years as a special education hearing officer and mediator before founding this firm, so both cases are handled by attorneys who know the work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words cannot truly express the gratitude I have for Claudia Brice and the Ramage Law Group. They stood by me through a year long custody battle that was one of the hardest seasons of my life. When my son’s dad tried to take away the most important person in my world just to avoid child support, I knew I needed someone strong, relentless, and compassionate and that’s exactly what I found.  I had the privilege of working closely with Claudia Brice, Jackie Bell, and Caitlyn Politz, and every single one of them went above and beyond. They were organized, responsive, and immediately took action to protect my son and me. They made me feel cared for not just as a client but as a person.

Claudia is more than just an attorney she is a SUPERWOMAN in law and a true fighter with the heart of a protector. She is humble, kind, and understanding, yet fierce in the courtroom. She made sure I understood my rights and options every step of the way and even in the middle of all the stress and heartache, her funny sense of humor made me laugh when I thought I couldn’t anymore. Sitting beside her in court, I felt a peace and confidence I never thought I’d feel during such a painful time, because I knew she was fighting as if it were her own family on the line.

I will forever recommend Claudia Brice and the Ramage Law Group to anyone facing a family battle. Claudia, thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thomas with Ramage Law Group is absolutely phenomenal. He was always available to assist, answer questions that he could answer, and listened- he didn’t interrupt, he wasn’t rude, he just listened. As a mom of a child with disabilities who desperately needed assistance, it meant a lot. Dr. Brinkman even took the time out to talk to me. Although I did not receive services due to services were no longer needed, this is going to be the first place I call if I ever need services. Thank you, Ramage Law Group.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Although I did not sign the contract and chose a different lawyer, I can say that the Ramage law group is very responsive and dedicated to help solve your legal challenges.
Noteworthy is Crystal the Client intake coordinator, who is very polite, responsive and supportive. This is a team who I believe would have your back from start to finish and make sure you are informed of every document, response, hearing, option or challenge especially in a timely manner and make sure that they are advocating and fighting for your rights every step of they way.
Thank you.
