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.

Separation or divorce can place pressure on nearly every part of your life, especially when children, shared property, financial commitments or future plans are involved. You may also question how family law relates to your circumstances or what expertise a general law firm can provide when business assets, blended family arrangements or established wealth further complicate the process. Australian Family Lawyers solely concentrates on family law. In this way, we gain a better understanding of the legal, practical and personal issues that often arise during separation and related disputes. We know that many people want straightforward answers without having to sort through confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon, which is why we communicate by speaking plainly and staying approachable from the outset. 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 that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our lawyers advise on many family law matters, including higher-asset cases that call for careful consideration. Whether you've been searching for "Divorce Lawyer In Melbourne" or "Divorce Lawyer Melbourne", our team helps you move forward with clear and steady guidance.
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. 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. For affluent individuals with complex assets, such as trusts or businesses, they can even provide tailored advice. 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 "Divorce Lawyer In Melbourne", "Divorce Lawyer Liverpool" or "Divorce Lawyer Norwest" to explore your options, legal support from Australian Family Lawyers can make it easier to protect your property and parental rights.
To get started, arrange a complimentary, no-obligation call so our team can explain the family law process and your initial options. Then, we'll set up a session to discuss your situation and plan the next steps in the process. We're here to help you with assisted negotiation and dispute resolution, prioritising mediation where possible if there is a dispute about parenting or property arrangements. Ideally, you and your lawyer will finalise matters by mutual consent, but if necessary, your lawyer will guide you through mediation or court proceedings. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Furthermore, we understand that you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition. Our lawyers are committed to working with you to explore available options at the beginning of your engagement. Throughout the process, you'll have direct access to your lawyer, who can answer your questions and provide consistent updates. You may also learn more about topics like "custody lawyer" or "family lawyers melbourne" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights.
