Hanshaw Kennedy Hafen, LLP

Divorce
Hanshaw Kennedy Hafen is a multi-practice law firm based in Frisco, Texas. Our attorneys handle a broad range of practice areas including commercial litigation, business law, healthcare law, estate planning, catastrophic injury, divorce and family law. We take pride in the relationships we develop with our clients. We view our clients as partners and strive to develop relationships that last beyond the resolution of the initial legal need. Call us today and let us become a partner you can trust.
Child Support
Are you going through a divorce or a changing family dynamic and have concerns about child support? Are you concerned about getting enough support or paying too much.
Child Custody and Visitation
The Hanshaw Kennedy Family Law attorneys are experienced with child custody matters, whether related to divorce, paternity, or other suit affecting child custody. Our goal is to help you seek an outcome that will be in your best interest of your child above all else. We have years of experience in successfully litigated, mediated, and amicably settled child custody cases. Our attorneys know that your family’s needs are unique. Our Family Law attorneys can work within the legal system toward creative results and outcomes that best suit the needs of your family.
Adoption
Paternity
Attorneys with the office of the OAG can assist with establishing paternity, finding missing parents, establishing child support, and enforcing the collection of unpaid child support. Most important to remember is that the OAG attorney does not represent either parent or conservator of the child or children; this means the OAG does not represent the party who requests services. The OAG only represents the State of Texas. This means that cases with children on TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, CHIP, and Medicaid) will be prioritized.
Premarital Agreement
If you were married for the first time, or this is a subsequent marriage, it is imperative to check your Will and your post death planning to make sure you and your spouse are covered. You cannot will away your new spouse’s share of community property without specific written permission from your spouse in a prenuptial agreement or post marital agreement. Failing to protect your spouse’s rights in your estate may lead to expensive litigation.
Guardianship
When it’s time to prepare your estate, administer a trust, initiate probate or arrange a guardianship, you can rely on HKH for trusted and prudent legal advice and guidance.
Spousal Support
Spousal Maintenance – if you already qualify for spousal maintenance for another reason, your spousal maintenance award may be increased if your spouse’s affair is shown to be the fault for the breakup of the marriage.
Legal Separation
Texas Courts have defined adultery as “voluntary sexual intercourse of a married person with one not the spouse.” In re Marriage of C.A.S. 405 S.W.3d 373, 383. This means that there must be sexual contact, even just one time. This also means that “emotional affairs” do not rise to the level of adultery as a ground for divorce. Keep in mind that there is no legal separation in Texas, you are married until you are formally divorced, so post separation sexual intercourse with someone other than your spouse is legal adultery.

Wrongful Death
Handling all aspects of OSHA litigation, including appeals of OSHA citations and the negotiation of settlements that minimize the impact of enforcement actions on wrongful death and injury cases
Fraud
Represented Home Health Care Agency in a business fraud case and successfully persuaded the Court to impose pre-trial death penalty sanctions against the Defendant. The sanctions award of almost $900,000 is believed to be the largest sanctions award in Collin County history.
Murder
Similarly, Mr. Kennedy was hired by a client in Harris County who was in jail charged with murdering his wife. There were many questions surrounding the facts related to the murder charge, but the Client needed Mr. Kennedy’s help because a civil court had awarded an injunction in favor of the children, effectively preventing the client from having access to all of his substantial estate. Mr. Kennedy filed a Motion to Dissolve the Injunction. Yet again, on the day of the hearing, the opposition capitulated and Mr. Kennedy was able to achieve a favorable settlement for the client.
Restraining Order
The Judge can also issue restraining orders during this hearing, restraining either party or both parties from any number of actions (i.e. contacting the other party, entering the other party’s motor vehicle, etc.). Collin County, Dallas County, and Denton County courts also all have standing orders in place. These are restraining orders that apply to both parties from the time the lawsuit is filed until further order of the Court or entry of the Final Decree of Divorce. Most items in the restraining orders are to maintain the status quo and protect both parties’ rights and property. All of these courts include orders that neither party can destroy, transfer, or otherwise harm the property in the estate. This protects the property until there is a final determination on the property division at the conclusion of the divorce proceeding.

Personal Injury

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Our estate planning attorneys believe that proper planning can greatly benefit your loved ones after your death and assist them through difficult times. However, if no plan is in place, you may expose your estate to needless estate taxes and cause the United States government to be your largest beneficiary. Even if you believe your estate will not be subject to estate taxes, having a simple estate plan will allow you to decide who will be the beneficiary of your estate, instead of Texas State law determining who will receive your assets.
Wills
The estate and probate litigation our attorneys handle for clients includes a broad range of disputes regarding breaches of fiduciary duty and bad faith matters, beneficiary rights, accounting’s, guardianship contests, appointments and removals, will contests, trustee removal actions, executor removal and appointment actions, and other trust and probate code issues.
Trusts
