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 you're facing separation or divorce, especially with children, property, finances or future plans to consider, the path ahead may seem unclear. Beyond the emotional impact of significant changes, you're also trying to understand the financial and legal realities of what lies ahead. Plus, family law issues can be more complex when they include blended families, business interests, shared assets, established wealth or parenting duties, and you may worry that a general law firm lacks the depth of expertise you're looking for. You may also worry you'll get confusing advice, needless legal terms or an impersonal service. For that reason, we at Australian Family Lawyers focus exclusively on family law. We appreciate that disputes of this nature can involve legal, practical and emotional pressures, and we seek to lessen the burden by being approachable, communicating in plain language and working towards sensible, achievable outcomes. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we also became the nation's largest specialised family law firm. Our team includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists, and thousands of families trust us each year, so whether you're searching for "Bendigo Family Lawyers" or "Adelaide Family Lawyers", you can turn to us.
Our team of lawyers has a settlement-first approach for all of our cases because reasonable negotiation and family mediation often avoid placing you, your former partner and your children through disruptive court proceedings. Notably, fewer than 5% of our matters reach a final hearing, as most of them are resolved through settlement. We provide the legal guidance for family mediation that makes these out-of-court resolutions possible. On the other hand, those looking for property settlement lawyers can trust our team to break down what's included in your property pool, help you identify assets and debts and advise you on securing the fairest possible outcome for your situation. You can also count on our child custody lawyers to advocate for you and your child, and we're even familiar with the specific hurdles faced by LGBTQ+ families in the family law system. For couples seeking clear expectations from the start, we can prepare Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter into marriage or partnership with a common understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Bendigo Family Lawyers", "Bentleigh Family Lawyers" or "Any Divorce Lawyer Near Me".
You can start with our no-obligation, free phone appointment, and we'll help you see the family law process more clearly before you formally engage us. 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. With itemised invoices provided along the way, you can also see the tasks undertaken, the time allocated to your matter and the professional responsible for completing the work. If changes to your circumstances affect the original estimate, we'll communicate this openly so you're never left unsure about what to expect. By adopting a cost-effective approach, we aim to provide better value, from the first 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. You'll also have direct access to your lawyer throughout the process, so communication stays clear without secretaries or assistants. Plus, you can visit the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights on topics such as "Family Lawyers Bundaberg" or "Division Of Assets In Divorce". If you've been looking up "family law solicitors gold coast" or "prenuptial agreements australia", book a consultation with us today.

We are thrilled to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is the Platinum Sponsor of the highly anticipated short film, Millie! As proud sponsors, we’re not only supporting the film’s important message but also honoured to hold an Executive Producer credit. Millie, directed by Darren Mort, sheds light on the emotional journey of a young girl navigating the challenges of her parents’ separation. This powerful film, told from one child’s perspective, explores the genesis of childhood trauma and dissociation.
We are excited to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is an official partner of Pride in Law!
