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.
In separation or divorce, you're balancing both the emotional impact of a major life change and understanding your legal and financial position moving forward. Complex issues such as shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can lead you to question a general firm's level of experience. It's common, when getting legal advice, to feel unsure who to trust or to be concerned about unclear information, impersonal services or needless legalese. This is why, at Australian Family Lawyers, we help people navigate separation, divorce and family law matters, offering clear and steady guidance at each stage of the process. Our team understands the legal and personal challenges involved, and by explaining your position, outlining your options and focusing on practical outcomes, we help you move forward with clarity. Following a merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we have become the largest specialised family law firm in Australia, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. You can ask us about "Bentleigh Family Lawyers" or "Adelaide Family Lawyers" and rest assured that you're supported by lawyers with extensive experience across a wide range of matters, including more complex and higher-asset cases.
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. In fact, most of our matters are resolved via settlement, and less than 5% of our cases proceed to a final hearing. 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 "Bentleigh Family Lawyers", "Family Lawyers Strathfield" or "Atherton Family Lawyers".
Once you reach out for a no-obligation, free phone consultation, we'll outline the family law process for you. After this, we'll hold a strategy session to assess your circumstances and outline the actions to follow. If conflicts emerge around parenting or property arrangements, we support you in pursuing practical resolutions. If parties still can't agree on an outcome, we'll continue to lead the process and pursue mediation or a hearing before a judge when required. To ensure total transparency, we even issue a comprehensive Costs Agreement that sets out the scope of work, our billing structure and a tailored estimate specific to your situation. You'll receive regular itemised invoices that clearly outline completed work, time spent and the professional who carried out each task. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory help us remain accessible to families throughout Australia. In addition, you'll be able to contact your lawyer directly, so you always stay informed and in control of your legal choices. If you've been exploring "Divorce Lawyer Mascot" or "Financial Settlement After Separation Australia", our online Information Centre provides free family law articles and insights. Whether you're browsing for "prenuptial agreements australia" or "best family lawyer sunshine coast", book a consultation with us today.

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.
