Our Simple Process

Learn more about Child Custody

You may find divorce or separation overwhelming, particularly when children, properties, finances and long-term plans are involved. Blended family dynamics, parenting agreements, business ties or shared assets can add complexity to deciding whether a firm has the right level of experience for your needs. You may also worry about who to trust or that the advice will be unclear, the service impersonal or the legal language too complex. Australian Family Lawyers can guide you through separation, divorce and family law matters, prioritising making each step easier to understand. We're dedicated exclusively to family law, so we understand both the practical and emotional complexities involved, even in high-asset cases. We provide you with clarity on your position and options so you can move forward with confidence. 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. Each year, thousands of families turn to us for support, and so can you if you've been searching for "Child Custody". In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025, we were even shortlisted as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards.

Rather than taking matters to court, we aim to settle disputes through negotiation and family mediation, as we follow a settlement-first approach. As a result, fewer than 5% of our matters proceed to a final hearing. We can connect you with experienced Mediators who can provide legal guidance for family mediation and help you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset. Alongside dispute resolution, we provide clear legal advice on key legal considerations during separation and divorce. This includes support from property settlement lawyers, who can help identify and divide assets and debts. We also assist high-net-worth individuals who have complex arrangements such as trusts or family businesses. Legal advice covers areas like spousal maintenance, and we help with Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to define clear financial arrangements. For families, we have child custody lawyers on our team who can offer guidance on child custody and support, focusing on the child's best interests while helping you understand your obligations. Plus, our advice covers diverse family structures, including LGBTQ+ families, and is respectful, practical and personalised to your situation. Whether you've been interested in "Child Support Lawyer Newcastle" or "Child Custody Lawyers Sydney Cbd", you can turn to us.

To get started with Australian Family Lawyers, book a free, no-obligation phone consultation where we'll discuss your situation and explain the family law process. After your consultation, we set up a detailed strategy session to review your circumstances and plan the next steps. Where there are disputes over property or parenting arrangements, we'll guide you through mediation or assisted negotiation in order to achieve a fair result without escalating matters. If an agreement cannot be reached, we'll continue to guide you through mediation or court proceedings. With experience across multiple Australian jurisdictions and with family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, our firm combines national expertise with local understanding. As part of our commitment to transparency, we provide an upfront Costs Agreement, regular itemised invoices and updates as conditions change, so you can rest easy if you've been looking up "Family Lawyer Sydney" or "Family Lawyers Toowoomba". You'll also be able to communicate directly with your lawyer throughout the whole process, with ongoing communication and additional support materials in our Information Centre. If you've been curious about "divorce lawyer" or "joint divorce application", book a consultation with us today.
