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.

A separation or divorce can put strain on much of your life, especially where children, shared property, financial obligations or future plans are at stake. You may also question how family law relates to your circumstances or what expertise a general law firm can provide when business assets, blended family arrangements or established wealth further complicate the process. Here at Australian Family Lawyers, we're wholly focused on family law. In this way, we gain a better understanding of the legal, practical and personal issues that often arise during separation and related disputes. Many people want straightforward answers without having to sift through confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon, so we speak plainly and stay approachable from the outset. 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 lawyers manage a wide variety of family law matters, including higher-asset cases that call for thorough attention. Whether you've been searching for "Ask A Divorce Lawyer" or "Binding Financial Agreement Nsw", our team helps you move forward with clear and steady guidance.
Rather than turning immediately to court proceedings, Australian Family Lawyers prioritises settlement and uses negotiation and family mediation to help resolve property and parenting matters with less stress and disruption. 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. Keeping early resolution at the forefront helps us achieve an outcome wherein less than 5% of our matters proceed 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 "Ask A Divorce Lawyer", "Conflict Of Interest Divorce Lawyer" or "Consultation For Divorce Lawyer", 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. We also apply this approach to the specific hurdles that LGBTQ+ families encounter, so you can rely on us, whatever your family structure.
You can begin with a free, no-obligation phone appointment where we guide you to a clearer view of the family law process before formal engagement starts. Once that has taken place, a detailed Costs Agreement is provided outlining the scope of work, billing structure and estimated fees based on your situation. Additionally, you'll receive itemised invoices that show the tasks completed, the hours recorded and which professional carried out the work. Where changing circumstances mean the original estimate needs to be updated, we'll explain this clearly and won't leave you uncertain. At the centre of our cost-effective model is our focus on delivering better value, from the initial consultation through to settlement. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we combine national reach with local guidance. We also give you direct access to your lawyer from start to finish, so communication stays clear without relying on assistants or secretaries. Plus, you can visit the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights on topics such as "Family Law Child Custody" or "Divorce Costs Australia". If you've been looking up "family lawyer price" or "apply for divorce", book a consultation with us today.
