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.
If you're facing separation or divorce, especially where children, property, finances or future plans are involved, the next steps may not be clear. 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. You may also worry you'll get confusing advice, needless legal terms or an impersonal service. As such, we specialise entirely in family law here at Australian Family Lawyers. 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 "Binding Financial Agreement Lawyer Sydney" or "Binding Financial Agreement", you can turn to us.
A settlement-first mindset guides our lawyers through every case, understanding that reasonable negotiation and family mediation can reduce the disruption of court proceedings for you, your former partner and your children. 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. To help couples set clear expectations early, our team can draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can begin 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 "Binding Financial Agreement Lawyer Sydney", "Bfa Family Law" or "Binding Financial Agreement Canberra".
With our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we make support accessible and relevant to your region. Our transparent fee structure starts with a detailed Costs Agreement, followed by regular itemised updates so you remain informed about legal fees and ongoing work throughout the process. Also, taking that first step with us is simple. You can begin with a free, no-obligation phone appointment where we explain the family law process. From there, we'll set up a strategy session to go over your situation more fully and create a plan suited to your goals and concerns. Should disputes arise over property or parenting arrangements, we'll work closely with you to pursue favourable outcomes. We also negotiate on your behalf, and if mediation or a hearing is needed to reach an agreement, we'll stay by your side at every stage of the process so you know what to expect. For added clarity, our online Information Centre is there whenever you need extra information on topics related to "Family Law Legal Advice" or "Sydney Family Law". If you want to learn more about "family lawyer canberra" or "child support lawyer", book a consultation today.
