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.
When children, property, finances or future plans are involved, divorce or separation can be particularly overwhelming. On top of the pain and distress, you may have to work out what comes next legally and financially. Where shared property, parenting responsibilities, blended families, business stakes or considerable wealth are present, complexity increases, and people commonly ask if a typical law firm has suitable experience to manage those issues. Australian Family Lawyers helps people navigate separation, divorce and family law matters with clear and steady guidance. With deep insight into the legal and personal issues you may be facing, we'll help you understand your position, your options and the practical steps ahead without bringing more worries to your situation. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now Australia's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes many Accredited Family Law Specialists. Each year, thousands of families trust us to guide them through this process, from answering questions about "Child Custody Lawyers Coolangatta" or "Child Custody Lawyers Near Me" to supporting more complex and higher-asset cases. We were also recognised as a finalist in the Australian Law Awards' Law Firm of the Year in 2020-2023 and 2025.
We adopt a settlement-first strategy for people navigating separation or divorce. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you protect your rights while working towards resolutions before matters are escalated to court. Our team can also introduce you to highly experienced Mediators. Due to our focus on negotiation and family mediation, fewer than 5% of our cases proceed to a final hearing. If you're working through which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement, our property settlement lawyers guide you through the legal and financial considerations involved. What's more, we provide specialised legal assistance for high-asset separations or divorces that involve family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets. Should spousal maintenance become relevant to your situation, our lawyers can explain your financial obligations following separation. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while guiding you through custody arrangements. We're also here to support families of all structures with compassionate and capable representation, including LGBTQ+ families. Beyond end-of-relationship support, we even help prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) based on your requirements. If you're looking up "Child Custody Lawyers Coolangatta", "Child Custody Lawyers Caboolture" or "Child Custody Lawyer Near Me", you can turn to us.
As for legal costs, you deserve a transparent view of what to expect. That's why we provide a comprehensive Costs Agreement at the outset of each engagement, explaining the scope of our work, our billing approach and a tailored estimate for your unique circumstances. Should your circumstances change, we'll notify you promptly and explain any updates to your fee estimate, so you're kept fully informed throughout the process. Our cost-effective model is built to provide improved value and genuine service from your first consultation through to final settlement. We understand you might not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition, so our lawyers will work with you to explore available options at the start of your engagement. You can contact our family law offices for enquiries or reach out to your lawyer directly without needing to relay messages to an assistant or secretary. This way, communication doesn't get mixed up when you need updates or have concerns about "family law divorce" or "family law firms brisbane". Plus, our online Information Centre is always accessible when you need more resources, which is convenient when you're seeking more information about "Family Lawyer Central Coast" or "Family Lawyers Bundaberg". Schedule a consultation now to decide your next steps.
