Alimony in Frisco: how it is calculated
Alimony in Frisco follows Texas law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Collin County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Frisco case is actually heard.
Where a Frisco case goes
A divorce filed in Frisco is heard by the Texas court for Collin County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Frisco has about 235,208 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Frisco have its own rule?
No. Tex. Fam. Code §§ 8.054–8.055 applies across Texas, so a case from Frisco is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is the courthouse, the clerk's procedure and how long the docket takes — not the amount.
What the statute says
Tex. Fam. Code §§ 8.054–8.055 — Texas Family Code, Chapter 8 (spousal maintenance).
