When you're facing separation or divorce, especially with children, property, finances or future plans to consider, the path ahead may seem unclear. You're not just managing the emotions that accompany big changes; you're also trying to make sense of the legal and financial path forward. In addition, the presence of business interests, parenting responsibilities, shared assets, blended families or established wealth can make family law matters more intricate, which may lead you to wonder whether a general law firm has sufficient experience for what you need. You may also worry you'll get confusing advice, needless legal terms or an impersonal service. As such, we specialise entirely in family law here at Australian Family Lawyers. We appreciate that disputes of this nature can involve legal, practical and emotional pressures, and we seek to lessen the burden by being approachable, communicating in plain language and working towards sensible, achievable outcomes. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we also became the nation's largest specialised family law firm. Our team includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists, and thousands of families trust us each year, so whether you're searching for "Domestic Abuse Divorce Lawyer" or "Domestic Violence Divorce Lawyer", you can turn to us.
We take a settlement-first approach for people going through separation or divorce. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you protect your rights while working towards resolutions before matters are escalated to court. Our lawyers can even connect you with highly experienced Mediators. Because of our focus on negotiation and family mediation, fewer than 5% of our cases progress to a final hearing. If you're working through which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement, our property settlement lawyers guide you through the legal and financial considerations involved. Additionally, we provide specialised legal support for high-asset separations or divorces that include family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets. If spousal maintenance is relevant to your situation, our lawyers can advise you on financial obligations after separation. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while guiding you through custody arrangements. We're also dedicated to offering compassionate and competent representation to families of all structures, including LGBTQ+ families. Besides end-of-relationship support, we can even prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) that are tailored to your requirements. If you're looking up "Domestic Abuse Divorce Lawyer", "Divorce Lawyer For Domestic Abuse" or "Divorce Lawyer Domestic Violence", you can turn to us.
We start with a free, no-obligation phone appointment to make things easier to follow and give you a clear picture of the next steps. After that, we schedule a strategy session to review your situation in detail and map out a plan according to your needs. We work closely with you to reach favourable outcomes for when either party can't agree on property or parenting. Plus, we negotiate on your behalf, working towards agreements achieved through mutual consent. We'll help you understand the next steps if additional mediation or a final court hearing becomes necessary, thanks to our continued guidance and support. Through our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we offer legal services rooted in local understanding that allows us to better serve you. We also provide a comprehensive Costs Agreement at the beginning of your engagement for total transparency, along with regular itemised invoices and ongoing updates regarding legal fees and work completed.
