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 cases of divorce or separation involving children, property or long-term plans, you may feel uncertain about the legal and financial steps you may have to take. Shared assets, parenting obligations, blended family issues, business interests or existing wealth can make things more complex, and you may be uncertain if a general law firm doesn't have the experience you're after. This is why working with lawyers solely dedicated to family law matters so much. At Australian Family Lawyers, we assist with a wide variety of family law matters, including higher-asset and more complex disputes. We recognise that confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon can make you feel concerned. Our team communicates clearly, remains approachable, and guides you to a clearer view of your position and next steps. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we became the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our approach remains grounded in solutions-based practice and an empathetic understanding of the challenges families face, which is why thousands trust us each year; if you're looking up "Best Sydney Divorce Lawyers" or "Best Family Lawyers Perth", 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 wanting to set clear expectations from the outset, our team can draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter marriage or partnership with a mutual understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Best Sydney Divorce Lawyers", "Best Family Lawyers Windsor" or "Byron Bay Family Lawyers".
We'll guide you through the family law process when you get in touch for a no-obligation, free phone consultation. After this, we'll hold a strategy session to assess your circumstances and outline the actions to follow. We collaborate with you to find practical solutions if disputes come up about parenting or property arrangements. In cases where you still can't reach an agreement, we'll keep providing legal guidance the whole time, including mediation or a hearing with a judge if needed. We also supply a comprehensive Costs Agreement for complete transparency, describing the scope of work, our billing structure and a personalised estimate for your circumstances. We provide regular itemised invoices, so you know what work has been completed, how much time was involved and which professional 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. Beyond that, you'll have direct contact with your lawyer, always keeping you in the loop and in control of your legal choices. If you've been exploring "Family Lawyers Bundaberg" or "Top Family Lawyers Sydney", our online Information Centre provides free family law articles and insights. Whether you're browsing for "australian prenup" or "divorce south 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!
