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.

When separation or divorce changes your family situation, parenting arrangements, shared assets and financial stability can all be harder to handle. Moreover, when there are business interests, blended families or established wealth, a split often becomes more complex. It's normal to be unsure who to trust, particularly if you fear that some lawyers will give confusing advice, impersonal service or needless legal jargon. We focus solely on family law at Australian Family Lawyers. We stay approachable and speak clearly to help you understand your position, the options available and the legal steps ahead. 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, including a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. With experience across many types of cases, thousands of families across Australia seek us out every year for reassurance when it matters most. At the Australian Law Awards, our firm was also recognised as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. With us, you can move forward with greater clarity, whether you're searching for "Family Court Lawyer Fees" or curious about "Divorce Settlement Australia".
Understanding that reasonable negotiation and family mediation can help you, your former partner and your children avoid the disruption of court proceedings, our lawyers take a settlement-first approach in every case. Actually, fewer than 5% of our matters ever make it to a final hearing, and most are 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 Court Lawyer Fees", "Family Aid Lawyers" or "Divorce Separation Lawyers".
With our legal team, you can expect straightforward answers, direct access and consideration for your need for transparency. You can start with a free, no-obligation phone consultation where we'll help you gain a clear view of the family law process. Moving forward, a focused strategy session is then arranged to assess your circumstances and identify the next practical actions to take. Should a dispute emerge about parenting or property arrangements, we negotiate for you and strive to resolve matters efficiently. If a case needs mediation or a hearing, we stay with you through every step, explaining what's happening and the options available to you, keeping you fully informed. 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. Whatever the case, you'll always have direct contact with your lawyer, not a go-between. You can also explore our free Information Centre for more insights on divorce, parenting orders and more, whether you've been curious about "family lawyers sunshine coast" or "divorce solicitors". If you've been searching for "Family Court Lawyers Sydney" or "Family Lawyers Mildura" and you're ready to take the next steps, book a consultation now.

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.
