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 where a divorce or separation affects children, property or long-term plans, it's understandable to be unsure about what to expect legally and financially. When shared assets, established wealth, blended family arrangements, parenting responsibilities or business interests are involved, these cases can be more complex, and you may doubt a general law firm has the experience you need. 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 acknowledge that you could be worried about unclear advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal language. We speak plainly, remain approachable, and help you understand your position as well as what the next steps might be with more clarity. 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 "Bowral Family Lawyer" or "Family Lawyers St Leonards", you can turn to us.
At Australian Family Lawyers, we favour a settlement-first approach, so you can address parenting issues through negotiation before court is required. We strive to resolve disputes early if possible, and fewer than 5% of our cases progress to a final hearing. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we help you approach discussions with a stronger understanding of your rights, responsibilities and possible outcomes. When suited for your situation, our lawyers can also put you in touch with experienced Mediators. When parenting arrangements become difficult to agree on, our child custody lawyers help you pursue solutions that consider your child's best interests while respecting your role as a parent. Additionally, we provide guidance for more complex child support situations, notably when private payment plans, formal disputes or major life changes call for legal advice beyond standard Services Australia processes. We also know that LGBTQ+ families may face unique pressures within the family law system, and our representation remains respectful of your lived experience. Alongside parenting concerns, our property settlement lawyers can advise on where financial arrangements affect your family's future. Whether you're looking into "Bowral Family Lawyer", "Southern Highlands Family Lawyer" or "Family Lawyers Westmead", we keep the focus practical and child-centred.
You can start with our no-obligation, free phone appointment, and we'll help you see the family law process more clearly before you formally engage us. Following that, we provide a detailed Costs Agreement that sets out the scope of work, billing structure and likely fees relevant to your circumstances. We also provide itemised invoices so you can review the tasks completed, the time spent on them and which professional handled each task. Should your circumstances change and we need to update the original estimate, we'll explain this clearly rather than leaving you uncertain. Our cost-effective model focuses on better value from initial consultation through to settlement. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we combine national reach with local guidance. You'll also have direct access to your lawyer throughout the process, so communication stays clear without secretaries or assistants. Plus, you can visit the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights on topics such as "Binding Financial Agreement Lawyers" or "Binding Financial Agreement Qld". If you've been looking up "central coast family lawyer" or "family law lawyer fees", 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!
