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.
When separation or divorce is on the horizon, and there are children, finances, property or future arrangements to think about, it can be difficult to see a clear way forward. As you navigate the emotional challenges of major transitions, you're also figuring out what comes next financially and legally. And when shared assets, parenting duties, blended families, business interests or established wealth are involved, family law matters can become more complex, and you may wonder if a general law firm has enough experience for what you need. It's also natural to worry about receiving confusing advice, distant service or needless legal terms. At Australian Family Lawyers, our practice is dedicated to family law for this very reason. 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 "Best Divorce Lawyer Victoria" or "Section 60i Certificate", 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. In fact, less than 5% of our matters ever reach a final hearing, with most being 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 "Best Divorce Lawyer Victoria", "Best Divorce Lawyer In Sydney" or "Adelaide Divorce Lawyers".
You deserve clarity about what lies ahead when it comes to legal costs. We open every engagement with a detailed Costs Agreement that defines the scope of our work, our billing structure and a tailored estimate specific to your situation. If your situation changes, we'll let you know right away and explain any updates to your fee estimate, keeping you fully informed at every step. Our cost-effective model focuses on providing greater value and dependable service from your first consultation to final settlement. We recognise you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during periods of change, which is why our lawyers are ready to work with you to explore available options when your engagement begins. You can contact our family law offices for enquiries or reach out to your lawyer directly without needing to relay messages to an assistant or secretary. This way, communication doesn't get mixed up when you need updates or have concerns about "family law lawyers" or "family lawyers perth". Plus, our online Information Centre is always accessible when you need more resources, which is convenient when you're seeking more information about "Family Lawyers Ipswich" or "Lawyers For Family Violence". Schedule a consultation now to help determine your next steps.

We are thrilled to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is the Platinum Sponsor of the highly anticipated short film, Millie!

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!
