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.

When separation or divorce involves children, property or future plans, you might feel uncertain about the legal and financial path forward. Shared assets, parenting responsibilities, blended families, business interests or established wealth can make these matters more layered, and you may worry that a general law firm may not have the experience you're looking for. That's why choosing lawyers who deal solely with family law matters is very important. Australian Family Lawyers handles a broad range of family law matters, including more complex and higher-asset cases. We understand you may be uneasy about confusing guidance, impersonal interactions or unnecessary legal jargon. Our team communicates with plain language, stays approachable, and helps you see your position and what comes next more clearly. 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 "Specialist Family Lawyers" or "Top Family Lawyers Sydney", you can turn to us.
Australian Family Lawyers places strong emphasis on settlement, encouraging negotiation and family mediation as a way to manage property and parenting matters without resorting to court proceedings. Our team helps you navigate the process by providing legal guidance for family mediation, thereby helping you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset, and we can also connect you with highly experienced Mediators. Because we prioritise early resolution, fewer than 5% of our matters go to a final hearing. In addition, our property settlement lawyers provide clear guidance on key legal considerations when identifying shared assets and debts, all while working towards a fair outcome. Support is also available for more complex matters, such as high-asset cases involving family trusts or businesses, as well as advice on spousal maintenance. When children are involved, our child custody lawyers provide empathetic guidance about custody arrangements and child support. Whether you're browsing for "Specialist Family Lawyers", "Male Family Lawyers" or "Top Family Lawyers", you can trust that we provide compassionate, competent representation that respects your lived experience, helping you understand your options while prioritising your child's or children's best interests. For LGBTQ+ families, this approach also extends to the specific hurdles they may face, so you can turn to us regardless of your family structure.
You can rely on our team, no matter if you're in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT or the Northern Territory, to be your family law advocates. While we are a trusted national name, we still maintain a local presence, and our family law offices across these regions mean you'll always work with someone who knows the practical details affecting your situation. We begin with a no-obligation, free phone appointment once you reach out, and you can ask questions and get clear, straightforward answers immediately. After that, we'll schedule a strategy session to review your position and outline a plan for the next steps. We seek to settle issues through mediation or negotiation, so if disagreements occur about property or parenting arrangements, we'll help you reach a resolution that safeguards your interests. The entire time, you'll always have direct contact with your lawyer, so you get answers quickly, and updates don't get mixed up in the process of relaying messages. Our Information Centre even has free articles and insights on family law, which might be helpful if you're researching "Family Lawyers Collingwood Park" or "Property Settlement Lawyers".
