Thoughtful, Honest and Strategic Resolution of Complex Divorces and Family Law Disputes

Preparing clients to write the next chapter in their lives, I help them find a constructive, efficient, and strategic resolution for their divorce or other family law issues, focusing on Collaborative Divorce, mediation, and pre- and post-marital agreements. I understand that many of my clients especially those going through a high net-worth divorce have worked for a lifetime to achieve their success, and I collaborate with them to create a sustainable and realistic plan for their future.

My approach is results-driven, and I encourage clients to establish attainable and realistic goals that keep cases and lives moving forward. My experience in litigation, Collaborative Divorce, and mediation encompasses all areas of family law, including managing difficult custody matters, complex property division involving valuation, issues of grandparents’ rights, and cases involving substance abuse and mental health issues. My clients include business owners, entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors, and their spouses: intelligent, motivated people who want to work together on practical, long-term solutions.

Here’s how:

  • Educate clients on the realities of their situation so they have clarity and autonomy as they find the best path forward.
  • Help clients clarify goals for their situation, including possession schedules and finances, and develop strategies for reaching them.
  • Provide a supportive environment and expert resources, especially in cases that involve mental health and addiction or personality disorders, custody issues, and cases where a high-net-worth divorce requires in-depth knowledge of financial management and valuation.
  • Partner with the client during the case to reshape communication and coparenting strategies both for litigation and the future.
  • Advocate tirelessly for out-of-court settlements but fiercely litigate in court when it is warranted and necessary.

Experience and Professional Credentials

A fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Aimee Pingenot Key has earned the esteem of judges and peers for her exceptional work in representing clients and helping to shape family law in Texas. She offers expertise in small and large business matters and understands their organization, ownership, stock interests, and bonus structures. In one case, she created a solution that allowed a business owner to maintain a growing entity without having to sell while transferring the spouse’s interest into a flexible payout plan. Managing complex custody cases, Aimee draws on her master’s degree in social work to be both empathetic and effective. For example, in a case where a client had substance abuse issues that threatened conservatorship, Aimee helped structure an arrangement that involved drug testing, counseling, and treatment, protected the children, and motivated the parent to return to unsupervised possession quickly.

Aimee is on the cutting edge of changes in family law and currently serves on the Texas Family Law Council, a governing arm of the Texas State Bar, and speaks regularly across the state and nation on family law matters. She is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is a credentialed collaborative professional by Collaborative Divorce Texas. Among her recognitions, Aimee has been selected to Best Lawyers in Dallas: Family Law by D Magazine in 2017, 2019, 2020, 2024 & 2025 and named to the Texas Super Lawyers list by Thomson Reuters since 2014. She was the course co-director for TAFLS, a trial skills boot camp for family lawyers. Working out of our Dallas and Plano office locations, Aimee is a Dallas divorce lawyer who advocates tirelessly for her clients.

Away from her practice, Aimee is the proud mom of three young children and believes that family is the most valuable asset in life. She actively serves in the school PTA, coaches her children’s sports teams, and serves as a scout troop leader.

Aimee Key and Krystal Bell are phenomenal. Literally, could not have asked anything more of them! They were responsive, professional, and most importantly effective. You won’t find better counsel and best hope that they are on your side and not across the table. – Tavis
