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.

Separation or divorce can feel unclear, especially when decisions about finances, future plans, property, or children need to be made. As you navigate the emotional challenges of major transitions, you're also figuring out what comes next financially and legally. 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. It's also common to feel concerned that you'll receive confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon. At Australian Family Lawyers, our practice is dedicated to family law for this very reason. Because these disputes often bring practical, emotional and legal difficulties, we focus on making your situation more manageable through clear communication, an approachable approach and solutions that work in practice. 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 Family Lawyer Springfield" or "Family Lawyers Biggera Waters", you can turn to us.
We take a settlement-first approach for people going through separation or divorce. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you protect your rights while working towards resolutions before matters are escalated to court. Our lawyers can put you in touch with highly experienced Mediators as well. Because we prioritise negotiation and family mediation, less than 5% of our cases progress to a final hearing. If you're working through which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement, our property settlement lawyers guide you through the legal and financial considerations involved. We also offer specialised legal support to those going through high-asset separation or divorce involving family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets. If spousal maintenance becomes relevant to your situation, our lawyers can advise you on financial obligations following separation. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while guiding you through custody arrangements. We're also committed to supporting families of all structures with compassionate and competent representation, including LGBTQ+ families. Alongside end-of-relationship support, we even help prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) that meet your needs. If you're looking up "Best Family Lawyer Springfield", "Family Lawyers Chelmer" or "Family Lawyers Augustine Heights", you can turn to us.
To make things easier to follow and help you see what comes next, we begin with a free phone appointment with no obligation to proceed. Following that, we organise a strategy session to review your situation closely and map out a plan aligned to your best interests. Should disputes come up about property or parenting, we collaborate with you to secure favourable outcomes. And as we handle negotiations for you, we pursue agreements through mutual consent. We'll help you understand the next steps if additional mediation or a final court hearing becomes necessary, thanks to our continued guidance and support. Through our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we offer legal services rooted in local understanding that allows us to better serve you. For full transparency, we also provide a detailed Costs Agreement at the outset of our agreement, and we also send updates and regular itemised invoices on legal fees and work completed.
