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.
Dealing with separation or divorce can mean making decisions about finances, long-term plans, children and property, and the uncertainty surrounding those decisions can be hard to handle. As you navigate major personal and emotional transitions, you might also feel unsure about what comes next from both a financial and legal perspective. Shared assets, blended families, business ventures and parental responsibilities can all contribute to a more challenging situation. What's more, you may be concerned that a general law firm lacks the specific experience your case requires. At Australian Family Lawyers, we practise only family law, which means we know the legal, practical and emotional challenges you're facing. After merging 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. Thousands of families come to us for support every year, backed by that broad experience across both high-asset and straightforward cases. The Australian Law Awards have also recognised us as a Law Firm of the Year finalist in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. We're a trusted partner ready to provide solutions-focused legal advice, even when you're looking into "Adelaide Family Lawyers".
Our settlement-first approach seeks to resolve disputes via negotiation and family mediation instead of going to court. For that reason, less than 5% of our matters reach a final hearing. We can connect you with experienced Mediators who can provide legal guidance for family mediation and help you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset. In addition to dispute resolution, we provide clear legal advice on the key legal considerations in separation and divorce. This includes support from property settlement lawyers, who can help identify and divide assets and debts. Our team can also advise high-net-worth clients on matters involving complex trusts and family business structures. Legal advice is available on topics such as spousal maintenance, and we also assist with Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to establish clear financial arrangements. For families, we have child custody lawyers on our team who can offer guidance on child custody and support, focusing on the child's best interests while helping you understand your obligations. On top of these, we advise on diverse family arrangements, including LGBTQ+ families, with respectful, practical support tailored to your circumstances. Whether you've been interested in "Bentleigh Family Lawyers" or "Atherton Family Lawyers", you can turn to us.
If you're weighing up how to start, we can help you gain clarity from the very first call. Reach out to our team for a no-obligation, free phone consultation to receive a straightforward explanation of what the family law process will look like for you. From there, we'll set up a strategy session to review your circumstances and create a plan suited to your needs. We also maintain a local presence through our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, giving you access to lawyers who are familiar with local considerations within different jurisdictions. We know that family law proceedings can feel financially daunting, which is why we prioritise transparency from the beginning of your engagement. Your comprehensive Costs Agreement outlines the scope of work, billing structure and a tailored estimate based on your circumstances, while regular itemised invoices and ongoing updates help you stay informed throughout the process. Those browsing for "Family Lawyers Bankstown" or "Divorce Attorney Melbourne" will be glad to know that we operate on a cost-effective model designed to provide better value and clearer pricing from the outset through to settlement. So, if you're interested in "family lawyers sunshine coast" or "child custody lawyer", book a consultation with us today.
