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 your circumstances shift following separation or divorce, managing parenting arrangements, shared assets and financial stability can become more difficult. Apart from that, a split can become more complex when business interests, blended families or established wealth are involved. It's common to feel uncertain about who to trust, especially when you're worried that some lawyers could offer confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon. At Australian Family Lawyers, we specialise exclusively in family law. We stay approachable and speak clearly to help you understand your position, the options available and the legal steps ahead. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team, including a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Given our experience across diverse cases, thousands of Australian families contact us each year for reassurance when they need it most. We have also been repeatedly recognised as an Australian Law Awards finalist for Law Firm of the Year in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. With us, you can move forward with greater clarity, whether you're searching for "Castle Hill Family Lawyers" or curious about "Child Custody Attorney Near Me".
Our lawyers approach each case with a settlement-first mindset because reasonable negotiation and family mediation can spare you, your former partner and your children the hassle of court proceedings. 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. 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 "Castle Hill Family Lawyers", "Caloundra Divorce Lawyer" or "Child Custody Lawyer Central Coast".
We recognise that you want a structured, clear path ahead, so we've designed each stage to be as simple as possible. Book a free phone appointment to speak directly with our team and learn more about the proceedings. After the consultation, we'll set up a strategy session where we review your specific circumstances and map out a plan tailored to your needs. If disputes over property or parenting arrangements occur, we work closely alongside you to seek a favourable conclusion. Our lawyers then take care of the negotiation with the goal of reaching a mutual agreement. Mediation or a hearing may become the next step if an agreement can't be reached, and we'll be ready to guide you throughout the process. With family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we bring you access to local expertise across Australia. We explain fees transparently, issuing a clear Costs Agreement and regular itemised invoices, so you can see where you stand. The same clarity applies when you ask us for guidance on topics like "Family Lawyers Rockhampton" or "Top Family Lawyers Sydney". Whether you want to learn more about "family dispute resolution" and "divorce south australia" or are ready to take action, contact us today.

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.
