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 children, finances, property or long-term plans are involved, a separation or divorce can create consequences that affect much more than how you feel. Parenting responsibilities, shared assets, blended families or established wealth can all add further complexity, and you may question whether general law firms have the experience to handle these nuanced matters. The last thing you want is impersonal service, unnecessary legal jargon or confusing advice, leaving you clueless about what to do next. At Australian Family Lawyers, we explain things plainly so you understand your situation, your choices and the legal steps ahead, and we only practise family law. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our firm was shortlisted in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025 as a finalist in the Australian Law Awards for Law Firm of the Year. Every year, thousands of families seek our practical guidance during challenging times in their lives. So, if you're searching for "Accredited Specialist Family Lawyer" or "Section 60i Certificate", you can count on us.
For people navigating separation or divorce, a settlement-first approach guides our work. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you protect your rights while working towards resolutions before matters are escalated to court. We can even connect you with Mediators who have extensive experience. We prioritise negotiation and family mediation, which means less than 5% of our cases proceed to a final hearing. If you're working through which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement, our property settlement lawyers guide you through the legal and financial considerations involved. We also offer specialised legal support to those going through high-asset separation or divorce involving family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets. If spousal maintenance is relevant to your situation, our lawyers can advise you on financial obligations after separation. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while guiding you through custody arrangements. We're also committed to supporting families of all structures with compassionate and competent representation, including LGBTQ+ families. Alongside end-of-relationship support, we even help prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) that meet your needs. If you're looking up "Accredited Specialist Family Lawyer", "Affordable Family Lawyer" or "Best Family Law Lawyers Perth", you can turn to us.
With our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we make support accessible and relevant to your region. Our transparent fee structure starts with a detailed Costs Agreement, followed by regular itemised updates so you remain informed about legal fees and ongoing work throughout the process. Likewise, getting started with us is simple. You can begin with a free, no-obligation phone appointment where we explain the family law process. We'll then arrange a strategy session to review your situation more thoroughly and develop a plan tailored to your aims and circumstances. Should disputes arise over property or parenting arrangements, we'll work closely with you to pursue favourable outcomes. Our team also negotiates on your behalf, and if mediation or a hearing becomes necessary to reach an agreement, we'll remain by your side through each stage of the process so you know what to expect. For added clarity, our online Information Centre is there whenever you need extra information on topics related to "Property Settlement" or "Family Lawyers Gosford". If you want to learn more about "family law lawyers" or "family law lawyer fees", book a consultation today.
