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.
When you're going through separation or divorce, you're facing a situation that affects more than just your emotions, especially when property, children, finances or long-term plans are involved. When parenting responsibilities, shared assets, blended families or established wealth add to the complexity, you're left unsure whether a general law firm has the expertise to handle these nuances. The last thing you want is impersonal service, unnecessary legal jargon or confusing advice, leaving you clueless about what to do next. At Australian Family Lawyers, we explain things plainly so you understand your situation, your choices and the legal steps ahead, and we only practise family law. 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 firm has also been recognised as a finalist in the Australian Law Awards for Law Firm of the Year in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. We help thousands of families each year by providing practical guidance, especially as they navigate an emotionally turbulent period. So, if you're searching for "Divorce Lawyers Townsville" or "Child Custody Lawyer Cairns", you can count on us.
Our lawyers approach every case with a settlement-first mindset because we know that reasonable negotiation and family mediation have the potential to spare you, your former partner and your children from the disruption of court proceedings. In fact, less than 5% of our matters ever reach a final hearing, with most being 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. When couples prefer clarity from the outset, we can prepare Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter marriage or partnership with agreed expectations. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Divorce Lawyers Townsville", "Divorce Lawyers In Cairns" or "Cairns Child Support Lawyer".
When you reach out to our family law offices for a free, no-obligation phone consultation, we start with clear information so you always know what to expect. Our comprehensive Costs Agreement gives you complete transparency into how we scope the work, provides a personalised estimate and clearly explains our billing structure. During your matter, we'll send regular, itemised invoices showing the tasks done, the time taken and the lawyer who handled them. Plus, if your circumstances change, we'll let you know right away about any updates to your estimate, helping you stay in control. Through a cost-effective business model, we strive to deliver exceptional value and service, guiding clients from the initial consultation to settlement and every step in between. There may be occasions when funds are not immediately within reach, particularly during transitional periods, and we get that. Our lawyers are committed to working with you to explore available options at the beginning of your engagement. And with direct access to your lawyer, you're always informed, empowering you to make decisions or gain answers for concerns related to "family law lawyers" or "child custody lawyer". You can also browse our Information Centre for articles and resources if you're curious about "Family Lawyer Bendigo" or "Divorce Lawyers Randwick", so book a consultation now.
