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.
Divorce and separation can be challenging, especially where future plans, children, finances or property need to be considered. You're managing the emotional strain of a significant life change and, at the same time, trying to figure out what happens next financially and legally. Added complexities arising from established wealth, business interests, blended families or shared assets require experience that many general law firms simply may not have. You may feel uncertain about who to rely on, concerned about conflicting advice, or uncomfortable with impersonal service and excessive legal terminology. That's where Australian Family Lawyers steps in. With family law as our exclusive area of practice, we use plain language to help you make sense of your options, your current position and the legal steps that may follow. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we've grown into the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Thousands of families turn to us during some of the most difficult periods in their lives, and so can you if you've been searching for "Divorce And Custody Lawyers" or "Divorce Attorney". In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025, our firm was also recognised as a finalist for the Australian Law Awards' Law Firm of the Year award.
When the time comes to address matters related to parenting, properties and finances, our focus remains on pursuing settlement first. As knowledgeable family lawyers, we support you through negotiation and provide legal guidance for family mediation, helping you advance your interests without immediately escalating to court. Less than 5% of our matters proceed to a final court hearing because we prioritise resolving matters before they escalate. Our property settlement lawyers provide precise advice when it comes to asset settlement, and we can also help you navigate the complexities of spousal maintenance. Meanwhile, our child custody lawyers advocate for you and your child, providing empathetic support during what we know is a taxing and intricate process. While child support cases are usually handled by Services Australia, you can get key legal advice for more complex scenarios, including private payment agreements and formal disputes, from our lawyers. Whether you're looking up "Divorce And Custody Lawyers" or something else, you can count on our team to deliver practical legal solutions tailored to your circumstances, including high-net-worth matters and specific hurdles LGBTQ+ families may face. If you want more information on "Custody Divorce Lawyer" or "Divorce And Custody Lawyers Newcastle", our process stays steady and clear, so you stay protected and informed throughout.
We understand you want a clearly defined path forward, so we've kept each stage as simple as possible. Gain a better understanding of the proceedings by booking a free phone appointment and speaking directly with our team. Your specific circumstances will be reviewed in a strategy session after the consultation, where we'll map out a plan aligned with your needs. When disagreements about property or parenting arrangements come up, we collaborate with you closely to pursue a favourable resolution. Afterwards, our lawyers will oversee negotiations with the objective of reaching a mutual agreement. Should efforts to reach an agreement this way prove unsuccessful, we're ready to assist you through mediation or a hearing. 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. You can expect transparency about fees, as we provide a clear Costs Agreement and regular itemised invoices, so you're never unsure where you stand. The same clarity applies when you ask us for guidance on topics like "Melbourne Divorce Lawyer" or "Binding Financial Agreement Lawyers". Whether you want to learn more about "divorce solicitors" and "family lawyer parramatta" or are ready to take action, contact us today.
