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.
Going through separation or divorce can be overwhelming, particularly where children, property, finances or long-term plans are concerned. Beyond the emotional impact, you may also be trying to understand what comes next from a legal and financial perspective. Situations involving shared assets, parenting responsibilities, blended families, business interests or established wealth significantly complicate matters, and it's common to wonder whether a typical law firm has the right experience to handle these details. Australian Family Lawyers supports you through separation, divorce and family law issues with calm, practical guidance. Because we understand both the legal and personal side of the matters you might be facing, we can help you understand your position, your choices and the steps to take without causing further challenges 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 "Divorce Lawyer Townsville" or "Online Divorce" to supporting more complex and higher-asset cases. Our firm has also been recognised as a finalist in the Australian Law Awards for Law Firm of the Year in 2020-2023 and 2025.
Our lawyers approach each case with a settlement-first mindset because reasonable negotiation and family mediation can spare you, your former partner and your children the hassle of court proceedings. Notably, fewer than 5% of our matters reach a final hearing, as most of them are resolved through settlement. We provide the legal guidance for family mediation that makes these out-of-court resolutions possible. On the other hand, those looking for property settlement lawyers can trust our team to break down what's included in your property pool, help you identify assets and debts and advise you on securing the fairest possible outcome for your situation. You can also count on our child custody lawyers to advocate for you and your child, and we're even familiar with the specific hurdles faced by LGBTQ+ families in the family law system. For couples seeking clear expectations from the start, we can prepare Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter into marriage or partnership with a common understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Divorce Lawyer Townsville", "Sole Application For Divorce" or "Division Of Assets In Divorce".
When you contact us for a free, no-obligation phone consultation, we'll explain the family law process in detail. From there, we'll organise a strategy session, which allows for an in-depth analysis of your situation and the development of a plan for your next steps. Should you disagree over parenting or property arrangements, we work alongside you to reach practical outcomes. If an agreement still can't be reached, we continue guiding you through the process, including mediation or a hearing before a judge if required. For total transparency, we also provide a comprehensive Costs Agreement outlining the scope of work, our billing structure and a tailored estimate based on your unique situation. Detailed itemised invoices are provided regularly, giving clear visibility into the work completed, time allocated and personnel involved in the task. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory help us remain accessible to families throughout Australia. Plus, direct communication with your lawyer always keeps you informed and keeps you in charge of your legal decisions. If you've been exploring "Joint Divorce Application" or "Family Lawyer Inner West", our online Information Centre provides free family law articles and insights. Whether you're browsing for "family law firms brisbane" or "family lawyer parramatta", book a consultation with us today.

We are thrilled to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is the Platinum Sponsor of the highly anticipated short film, Millie! As proud sponsors, we’re not only supporting the film’s important message but also honoured to hold an Executive Producer credit. Millie, directed by Darren Mort, sheds light on the emotional journey of a young girl navigating the challenges of her parents’ separation. This powerful film, told from one child’s perspective, explores the genesis of childhood trauma and dissociation.
