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.
Award recipients represent a true cross section of the legal industry, recognising the contributions of the profession’s most senior ranks through to its rising stars.
When separation or divorce brings children, property or long-term plans into the equation, it's normal to feel unsure about what comes next legally and financially. Parenting arrangements, shared assets, blended families, business interests or established wealth may present more challenges, and you may worry if a general law firm lacks the experience your situation requires. That's why working with lawyers who focus solely on family law is so important. At Australian Family Lawyers, we deal with a broad range of family law issues, including those that are more complex or involve bigger assets. We recognise that confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon can make you feel concerned. Our team communicates clearly, remains approachable, and guides you to a clearer view of your position and next steps. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we became the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our approach remains grounded in solutions-based practice and an empathetic understanding of the challenges families face, which is why thousands trust us each year; if you're looking up "Divorce Lawyers Whitsundays" or "Divorce Property Settlement Perth", you can turn to us.
At Australian Family Lawyers, we place a settlement-first approach at the forefront, working through negotiation so parenting concerns can be managed before court is needed. We encourage early dispute resolution wherever appropriate, with fewer than 5% of our cases continuing to a final hearing. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we help you approach discussions with a stronger understanding of your rights, responsibilities and possible outcomes. Our lawyers can also connect you with experienced Mediators when that pathway suits your circumstances. When parenting arrangements become difficult to agree on, our child custody lawyers help you pursue solutions that consider your child's best interests while respecting your role as a parent. Additionally, we provide guidance for more complex child support situations, notably when private payment plans, formal disputes or major life changes call for legal advice beyond standard Services Australia processes. We also acknowledge that LGBTQ+ families may face unique challenges in family law matters, and we're dedicated to providing respectful representation that considers your lived experience. Alongside parenting concerns, our property settlement lawyers can advise on where financial arrangements affect your family's future. Whether you're looking into "Divorce Lawyers Whitsundays", "Divorce Lawyer Southern Suburbs Adelaide" or "Family Lawyers Lakes Entrance", we keep the focus practical and child-centred.
To begin, book a free, no-obligation phone consultation, and our team will help you understand the family law process and your initial options. Next, we'll organise a session to talk about your circumstances and develop a strategy for what follows. In the event that disagreements arise over parenting or property arrangements, we'll assist you using assisted negotiation and dispute resolution, aiming to settle through mediation where possible. Ideally, you and your lawyer will finalise matters by mutual consent, but if necessary, your lawyer will guide you through mediation or court proceedings. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. In addition, we understand that you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition. Our lawyers are committed to working with you to explore available options at the start of your engagement. At every stage, you'll be able to directly contact your lawyer, who'll answer questions and provide timely updates. You may also learn more about topics like "family violence lawyer" or "child support lawyer" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights.
