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 dealing with separation or divorce, you're handling both the emotional strain of significant change and the practical task of assessing your legal and financial position from here. Matters involving shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can be complex, leading you to question whether a general firm has the required experience. It's common, when getting legal advice, to feel unsure who to trust or to be concerned about unclear information, impersonal services or needless legalese. This is why, at Australian Family Lawyers, we help you navigate separation, divorce and other family law matters, giving clear and steady guidance throughout the process. Our team understands the legal and personal challenges you're facing, and by explaining your position, outlining your options and focusing on realistic outcomes, we help you move forward with clarity. Following a merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we have become the largest specialised family law firm in Australia, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. You can ask us about "Family Lawyer Cape Town" or "Family Lawyer Cairns" and rest assured that you're supported by lawyers with extensive experience across a wide range of matters, including more complex and higher-asset cases.
At Australian Family Lawyers, we adopt a settlement-first approach, emphasising negotiations and family mediation to resolve disputes without the added stress of needing to go to court. Using this method means you, your former partner and your children can reduce the chances of escalated conflict, with fewer than 5% of cases ending in 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. For affluent individuals with complex structures, such as trusts or businesses, they can even provide tailored advice. 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 "Family Lawyer Cape Town", "Family Lawyer Campbelltown" or "Family Lawyer Camden" to explore your options, legal support from Australian Family Lawyers can make it easier to protect your property and parental rights.
The engagement begins with a no-obligation, free phone consultation, where you can speak with our team and gain a clear understanding of the family law process. Next, we set up a strategy session to assess your circumstances and plan the next steps. When disagreements over property or parenting arrangements arise, we'll closely cooperate with you to pursue a practical and favourable resolution. Our team will act on your behalf in negotiations, seeking to settle issues through mediation or agreement where we can. Where a resolution cannot be reached, the matter may proceed to mediation or a court hearing, and we continue to guide and support 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 Lawyers St Leonards" or "Family Law Lawyers Perth". 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 "family law divorce" or "child custody lawyer". So, book a consultation with us today to begin.
