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.

Going through separation or divorce can be overwhelming, particularly where children, property, finances or long-term plans are concerned. On top of the pain and distress, you may have to work out what comes next legally and financially. Shared assets, parenting obligations, blended family arrangements, business interests or notable wealth can greatly complicate a case, and it's natural to doubt whether an ordinary law firm has the right experience to deal with them. Providing clear, constant guidance on separation, divorce and other family law matters is what Australian Family Lawyers does best. Our team has deep insights into both the legal and personal challenges you may be facing, which means we can help you better understand your position, your options and the steps ahead without adding more stress 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 Perth" or "Child Custody Lawyer Sydney" to supporting more complex and higher-asset cases. Our firm has similarly been shortlisted as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards in 2020-2023 and 2025.
At Australian Family Lawyers, our focus is settlement first, prioritising negotiations and family mediation to settle disputes rather than adding more frustration by taking them to court. With under 5% of cases reaching a final hearing, this approach allows you, your former partner and your children to avoid excessive conflict. 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. Specialised advice can even be offered to affluent individuals with complex structures, such as trusts and business interests. 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. We also provide legal advice on child support, including complex cases that can involve private agreements or disputes. Whether you're in the early stages of separation or searching for "Child Custody Lawyers Perth", "Child Support Lawyer Sydney" or "Child Custody Lawyer Wollongong" to explore your options, legal support from Australian Family Lawyers can make it easier to protect your property and parental rights.
We begin with a free, no-obligation phone call where you can speak to our team and understand the family law process. We then arrange a strategy session to review your circumstances and outline the next steps. Where property or parenting arrangements become a point of disagreement, we'll work closely with you towards a practical and favourable resolution. Our team advocates for you in negotiations while pursuing mediation or agreement wherever possible. Where a resolution cannot be reached, the matter may proceed to mediation or a court hearing, and we continue to guide and support you at every stage. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, you benefit from both national expertise and local understanding. Throughout the process, you have direct access to your lawyer to ensure clear and consistent communication, especially when you have enquiries about "Divorce Lawyers Noosa" or "Family Lawyers Burnie". You also gain access to helpful resources through the Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights that may answer general questions about "family lawyer canberra" or "separation lawyer". So, book a consultation with us today to begin.
