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.
In cases of divorce or separation involving children, property or long-term plans, you may feel uncertain about the legal and financial steps you may have to take. Shared assets, parenting responsibilities, blended families, business interests or established wealth can make these matters more layered, and you may worry that a general law firm may not have the experience you're looking for. That's why it's very important to work with lawyers who specialise exclusively in family law. 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. Our team communicates clearly, remains approachable, and guides you to a clearer view of your position and next steps. 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 Lawyers Specialists" or "Family Attorney", you can turn to us.
Our priority is settlement for people managing separation or divorce. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we walk you through your rights and responsibilities while working towards practical resolutions. Since our team prioritises settling matters before they proceed to court, less than 5% of our cases advance to a final hearing. Navigating assets and liabilities is an important step following a split, and our property settlement lawyers explain the legal and financial considerations involved. If your matter includes family trusts, business interests or high-value assets, we provide specialised legal support for more complex family law matters. We can even help couples who are in a current relationship by establishing clearer arrangements through Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs), with our lawyers advising on and drafting agreements according to your needs. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for outcomes that support the best interests of your child while guiding you through your rights and obligations throughout the process. Whether you're exploring "Divorce Lawyers Specialists", "Expert Family Lawyer Sydney" or "Family And Custody Lawyers", you can turn to us for steady legal guidance. Regardless of the structure of your family, you can count on us for compassionate and competent representation.
To begin, book a free, no-obligation phone consultation, and our team will help you understand the family law process and your initial options. Next, we'll arrange a meeting to review your situation and map out a strategy for the remainder of the process. When disputes arise around property or parenting arrangements, our team will guide you through assisted negotiation and dispute resolution with the goal of agreeing through mediation where possible. In ideal cases, you and your lawyer will resolve matters by mutual consent, but your lawyer will guide you through mediation or court proceedings if necessary. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. In addition, 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. You'll have direct access to your lawyer throughout, so they can answer your questions and give regular updates. You may also learn more about topics like "custody lawyer" or "family law solicitor dandenong" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights. If you've been browsing for "Divorce Lawyer Central Coast" or "Family Lawyers Brisbane", contact us today to get started.
