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.
Handling separation or divorce can mean making decisions about children, property, future plans and finances, and the uncertainty that comes with them can be difficult to manage. While coping with significant emotional and personal changes, you may also feel uncertain about the legal and financial challenges that lie ahead. Shared assets, blended families, business ventures and parental responsibilities can all contribute to a more challenging situation. What's more, you may be concerned that a general law firm lacks the specific experience your case requires. At Australian Family Lawyers, we practise only family law, which means we know the legal, practical and emotional challenges you're facing. After merging 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. With experience spanning both simple matters and complex high-asset cases, we support thousands of families who turn to us for help each year. The Australian Law Awards have also recognised us as a Law Firm of the Year finalist in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. We're a trusted partner ready to provide solutions-focused legal advice, even when you're looking into "Divorce Lawyers Maroubra".
Whether you're still in the process of separating or have decided to divorce, having an experienced lawyer can simplify safeguarding your parental rights and property interests. The approach we use is settlement-first, with a strong focus on maintaining clarity and pursuing steady negotiations from the start. Our team assists in resolving parenting and property disputes without escalating matters to court immediately. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we explain your rights, responsibilities and possible outcomes at every stage, and we can also connect you with highly experienced Mediators. Because our family law experts prioritise workable resolutions, fewer than 5% of our cases reach a final hearing. Our property settlement lawyers assist with important financial considerations during separation and divorce, including identifying which assets and liabilities form part of a settlement, advising on spousal maintenance and supporting high-net-worth individuals managing family trusts, business interests and other complex assets. We also help parents navigate child support obligations and parenting arrangements, with guidance from our child custody lawyers who understand the issues that can come with a split. Our team can help you move forward with greater certainty, whether you're interested in "Capalaba Family Lawyer" or "Divorce Lawyer Echuca".
Right from the outset, you have a team at Australian Family Lawyers ready to guide you. You can contact our team for a free initial phone consultation, giving you the opportunity to discuss your situation and better understand the process without the pressure to move forward. We maintain direct communication at every step of the way, so you can talk to your lawyer without involving an assistant or secretary. After that, we'll arrange a strategy session to review your circumstances and map out the next steps together. Should disputes come up over property or parenting responsibilities, our team will assist you in achieving a positive outcome, usually through assisted negotiation or mediation. Throughout the hearing process, we'll continue providing guidance if matters move forward. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, our team also combines national capability with local understanding. As part of our commitment to transparency, we provide an upfront Costs Agreement and itemised updates, which can be reassuring when you're looking into "Sydney Family Law Firm" or "Divorce Cost Nsw". Through our online Information Centre, we offer free articles and insights on key family law topics to provide additional support. If you've been curious about "family law lawyer fees" or "family dispute resolution", book a consultation with us today.
