We are proud to announce we have been named as a finalist in the Australian Law Awards for Law Firm of the Years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025.

Divorce or separation can be overwhelming, particularly when children, property, finances or long-term plans are involved. On top of the pain and distress, you may have to work out what comes next legally and financially. Where shared property, child responsibilities, blended families, business stakes or considerable wealth are present, complexity increases, and people commonly ask if a typical law firm has suitable experience to manage those issues. Australian Family Lawyers helps people navigate separation, divorce and family law matters with clear and steady guidance. Our team has deep insights into both the legal and personal challenges you may be facing, which means we can help you better understand your position, your options and the steps ahead without adding more stress to your situation. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now Australia's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes many Accredited Family Law Specialists. Each year, thousands of families trust us to guide them through this process, from answering questions about "Divorce Financial Settlement Australia" or "Amicable Divorce Settlements" to supporting more complex and higher-asset cases. Our firm has likewise been acknowledged as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards in 2020-2023 and 2025.
We prioritise a settlement-first pathway here at Australian Family Lawyers, using negotiations and family mediation to help resolve disputes and avoid the added pressures of going to court. This approach allows you, your former partner and your children to avoid unnecessary conflict, with fewer than 5% of cases progressing to a final hearing. Our team supports you through mediation by clearly explaining your rights and responsibilities, and we can connect you with experienced legal guidance for family mediation. When it comes to property matters, we have property settlement lawyers who can assist in identifying and dividing assets and debts. They can even provide tailored advice for high-net-worth individuals with complex structures, such as trusts or business interests. In matters involving children, our team has child custody lawyers ready to provide steady and empathetic guidance on custody and parenting arrangements, always focusing on the best interests of your child. We can also advise on child support matters, including trickier situations that involve private agreements or disputes. Whether you're in the early stages of separation or searching for "Divorce Financial Settlement Australia", "Financial Separation Lawyers Melbourne" or "Separation Agreement Lawyer Tasmania" to explore your options, legal support from Australian Family Lawyers can make it easier to protect your property and parental rights.
You can begin with a complimentary, no-obligation phone consultation to speak with our team and gain clarity about the family law process. Then, we organise a strategy session to discuss your circumstances and outline the next steps. Where property or parenting arrangements become a point of disagreement, we'll work closely with you towards a practical and favourable resolution. With our team representing you in negotiations, we aim to resolve matters through mediation or agreement wherever possible. If no resolution is reached, the matter may go to mediation or court, and we'll keep guiding and supporting you at every stage. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, you benefit from both national expertise and local understanding. Throughout the process, you have direct access to your lawyer to ensure clear and consistent communication, especially when you have enquiries about "Family Law Lawyers Perth" or "Family Law Child Custody". You also gain access to helpful resources through the Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights that may answer general questions about "custody lawyer" or "child support lawyer". So, schedule a consultation with us today to get started.
