Guiding Families Through Challenging Times

Legal Separation

Legal separation allows couples to live apart while remaining legally married, addressing important issues like child custody, support, and property division. Our firm helps you navigate the process with clarity and care, ensuring your rights and interests are protected every step of the way.

High Net Worth Divorce

High net worth divorces involve complex financial matters such as business ownership, real estate holdings, investments, and sometimes hidden assets. At our firm, we provide strategic representation to protect your wealth and ensure a fair division of property, all while maintaining the utmost confidentiality and professionalism.

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is a quicker, less expensive, and more amicable way for couples in Metro Detroit to end a marriage. A common misconception is that hiring an attorney is not necessary, but having skilled legal representation is the best way to protect your rights and interests. That’s where The Nunley Law Group steps in. You can depend on us to provide trustworthy advice and counsel and handle your divorce case expediently so you can move on peacefully. Contact us today to learn how we can help.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence afflicts many couples, but violence can also occur between parents and children, household members, and dating partners. We assist victims of domestic violence in obtaining Orders of Protection and guiding them through the divorce process if necessary. We also recognize that false allegations of abuse can arise, especially during highly contested divorce proceedings, and work to defend those unjustly accused of domestic violence.

Prenuptial/Postnuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract entered into by a couple before marriage that outlines how assets, debts, and other financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce or death. A postnuptial agreement serves a similar purpose but is created after the couple is already married. Both agreements provide clarity and protection for both parties, helping to avoid disputes and ensure fairness should the marriage end.

Paternity

When the biological identity of the father is in question, establishing paternity is crucial for resolving child custody and support issues. Our family law attorney can help you establish your parental rights or defend against a paternity action.

Post-Judgment Issues

Getting your ex to comply with the terms and conditions in your Judgment of Divorce isn't always an easy thing to do, and post-judgment motions are extremely common in family law cases. That's the bad news. The good news is that you have several good options when it comes to getting a court to order compliance with the terms of a judgment.

Mediation

An amicable alternative to divorce litigation. Given the time and expense of litigating a family law issue, we advise clients on mediation. This involves working with a neutral third party to find solutions without going to court. The parties must agree to participate and negotiate in good faith for the process to succeed.

Child Support

Child support is determined by a complex formula that considers each parent’s income, the number of children they have, and the custody arrangements. Let our attorneys guide you through the process and ensure that your children have the financial support they need and deserve.

Child Custody & Parenting Plans

We all want the best for our kids, and courts generally agree that children benefit from an enduring relationship with both parents. Whether you need to create a parenting plan or establish parental rights, we will work with you to find a real-world child custody and parenting time solution.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

Spousal support is part of property division in a divorce, and the couple can often reach an agreement without court intervention. If you and your spouse cannot agree, a judge will decide; however, there is no statutory formula in play, and spousal support is decided on a case-by-case basis.

Contested Divorce

People don't always see eye-to-eye when getting divorced. Some divorces are more contentious than others, some are downright ugly. While it is always better for people to try and agree upon the easiest way to make it through their divorce, it is not always possible. If you are contemplating divorce and you anticipate problems with your soon-to-be ex spouse, it is in your best interest to reach out to an attorney sooner than later.
