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.
If separation or divorce raises questions about any children, property or long-term plans involved, it's reasonable to feel unsure what comes next legally and financially. Shared assets, parenting duties, business ties, blended family dynamics or established wealth can further complicate matters, making you worry about whether or not a general law firm has the experience you're seeking. This is why working with lawyers solely dedicated to family law matters so much. 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. We speak plainly, remain approachable, and help you understand your position as well as what the next steps might be with more clarity. 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 "Divorce Lawyer Rockhampton" or "Divorce Lawyers Ipswich", you can turn to us.
Australian Family Lawyers places strong emphasis on settlement, encouraging negotiation and family mediation as a way to manage property and parenting matters without resorting to court proceedings. Our team helps you navigate the process by providing legal guidance for family mediation, thereby helping you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset, and we can also connect you with highly experienced Mediators. With an emphasis on resolving matters early, less than 5% of our matters proceed to a final hearing. In addition, our property settlement lawyers provide clear guidance on key legal considerations when identifying shared assets and debts, all while working towards a fair outcome. We can also assist with more complex matters, including high-asset cases involving family trusts or businesses, and provide advice on spousal maintenance. When children are involved, our child custody lawyers provide empathetic guidance about custody arrangements and child support. Whether you're browsing for "Divorce Lawyer Rockhampton", "Divorce Lawyers Ipswich Qld" or "Divorce Lawyers Ballina", you can trust that we provide compassionate, competent representation that respects your lived experience, helping you understand your options while prioritising your child's or children's best interests. The same approach extends to the specific hurdles that LGBTQ+ families go through, so you can turn to us no matter how your family is structured.
Our legal team respects your need for transparency, gives you straightforward answers and offers direct access. You can start with a free, no-obligation phone consultation where we'll explain the family law process so you have a clear understanding of it. Next, we organise a focused strategy session with you to review your situation and map out practical next steps. Should a dispute emerge about parenting or property arrangements, we negotiate for you and strive to resolve matters efficiently. If a case needs mediation or a hearing, we stay with you through every step, explaining what's happening and the options available to you, keeping you fully informed. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory mean you get national expertise rooted in local knowledge. In every situation, you'll have direct contact with your lawyer, not a go-between. You can also explore our free Information Centre for more insights on divorce, parenting orders and more, whether you've been curious about "divorce solicitors" or "child support lawyer". If you've been searching for "Family Attorney" or "Family Lawyers Central Coast" and you're ready to take the next steps, book a consultation now.
