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.

During separation or divorce, you're dealing with both the emotional toll of a big change and the need to know your legal and financial position going forward. Matters involving shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can be complex, leading you to question whether a general firm has the required experience. Often, when seeking legal advice, you may feel unsure about who to trust or concerned about unclear advice, impersonal services or unnecessary legal jargon. As such, at Australian Family Lawyers, we work alongside people facing separation, divorce and family law matters, offering straightforward guidance every step of the way. Because it can be challenging on both a legal and personal level, we provide clarity about your situation, outline the paths available and help you pursue workable outcomes. 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 "Best Child Custody Lawyer Adelaide" or "Best Divorce Lawyers Sydney" 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.
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. With emphasis on resolving matters early, 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. We can also assist with more complex matters, including high-asset cases involving family trusts or businesses, and provide 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 "Best Child Custody Lawyer Adelaide", "Best Divorce Lawyer Perth" or "Best Divorce Lawyer In Australia", 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. For LGBTQ+ families, this approach also extends to the specific hurdles they may face, so you can turn to us regardless of your family structure.
To begin, set up a free, no-obligation phone consultation so our team can help you clarify the family law process and your initial options. Next, we'll set up a session to discuss your situation and plan the next steps in the process. In the event that disagreements arise over parenting arrangements or property, we will assist you using assisted negotiation and dispute resolution, aiming to settle through mediation where possible. In ideal cases, you and your lawyer will resolve matters by mutual consent, but your lawyer will guide you through mediation or court proceedings if necessary. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Moreover, we understand that you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition. Our lawyers are here to help you explore your available options at the outset of your engagement. Throughout, you'll have direct lines to your lawyer for answers to your questions and ongoing updates. You may also learn more about topics like "family lawyers specialising in narcissistic abuse" or "family lawyers guanaba" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights. If you've been browsing for "Family Lawyers Bundaberg" or "Divorce Lawyers Ipswich", contact us today to get started.
