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.

When separation or divorce involves children, property or future plans, you might feel uncertain about the legal and financial path forward. 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. That's why working with lawyers who focus solely on family law is so important. At Australian Family Lawyers, we assist with a wide variety of family law matters, including higher-asset and more complex disputes. We recognise you may fear getting confusing advice, impersonal treatment or unnecessary legal phrasing. Our team keeps our language straightforward and stays approachable to give you a clearer picture of your position and options. 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 "Child Custody Lawyer Clayton" or "Family Lawyers Rockhampton", you can turn to us.
We prioritise a settlement-first pathway here at Australian Family Lawyers, using negotiations and family mediation to help resolve disputes and avoid the added pressures of going to court. This approach allows you, your former partner and your children to avoid unnecessary conflict, with fewer than 5% of cases progressing to a final hearing. Our team supports you through mediation by clearly explaining your rights and responsibilities, and we can connect you with experienced legal guidance for family mediation. When it comes to property matters, we have property settlement lawyers who can assist in identifying and dividing assets and debts. High-net-worth clients can even receive custom advice from them on trusts, business interests and other complex structures. In matters involving children, our team has child custody lawyers ready to provide steady and empathetic guidance on custody and parenting arrangements, always focusing on the best interests of your child. Additionally, we offer legal advice on child support, including more complex situations that may involve private agreements or disputes. Whether you're in the early stages of separation or searching for "Child Custody Lawyer Clayton", "Family Lawyer Redland" or "Family Lawyer Aspley" to explore your options, legal support from Australian Family Lawyers can make it easier to protect your property and parental rights.
Starting with us is straightforward, and you'll get a clearer picture of what happens next, thanks to our free, no-obligation phone appointment. Then, our team assesses your situation thoroughly in a strategy session and maps out the next course of action tailored to your needs. We work closely with you to reach favourable outcomes for when either party can't agree on property or parenting. Our team also negotiates on your behalf and works towards agreements by mutual consent. We'll guide you through each step of the process should mediation or a final hearing be required, so you know what to expect. Through our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we offer legal services rooted in local understanding that allows us to better serve you. For full transparency, we also provide a detailed Costs Agreement at the outset of our agreement, and we also send updates and regular itemised invoices on legal fees and work completed.
