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.
Divorce or separation can be overwhelming, particularly when children, property, finances or long-term plans are involved. On top of the pain and distress, you may have to work out what comes next legally and financially. Where shared property, parenting responsibilities, blended families, business stakes or considerable wealth are present, complexity increases, and people commonly ask if a typical law firm has suitable experience to manage those issues. Providing clear, constant guidance on separation, divorce and other family law matters is what Australian Family Lawyers does best. Our team has deep insights into both the legal and personal challenges you may be facing, which means we can help you better understand your position, your options and the steps ahead without adding more stress 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 "Family And Property Lawyers" or "Family Law Lawyers Adelaide" to supporting more complex and higher-asset cases. Additionally, our firm has been shortlisted as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards in 2020-2023 and 2025.
A settlement-first mindset guides our lawyers through every case, understanding that reasonable negotiation and family mediation can reduce the disruption of court proceedings for you, your former partner and your children. 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. For those looking to create clear expectations early on, our team can draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to encourage a mutual understanding before marriage or partnership begins. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family And Property Lawyers", "Family Law Lawyers Ballarat" or "Family Law Lawyers Bankstown".
With our legal team, you can expect straightforward answers, direct access and consideration for your need for transparency. You can begin with a free, no-obligation phone consultation, and we'll help you see the family law process clearly. Next, we organise a focused strategy session with you to review your situation and map out practical next steps. When disagreements over parenting or property arrangements lead to a dispute, we handle negotiations on your behalf and work towards an efficient resolution. Should a case require mediation or a hearing, we stay with you through each phase, explaining what's happening and what options you have, so you're never left in the dark. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory mean you get national expertise rooted in local knowledge. Regardless of the matter, your lawyer will deal directly with you rather than involving a third party. You can also explore our free Information Centre for more insights on divorce, parenting orders and more, whether you've been curious about "child custody lawyer" or "family law solicitor dandenong". If you've been searching for "Family Lawyer Bendigo" or "Family Lawyers Mandurah" and you're ready to take the next steps, book a consultation now.

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.
