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 where a divorce or separation affects children, property or long-term plans, it's understandable to be unsure about what to expect legally and financially. When shared assets, established wealth, blended family arrangements, parenting responsibilities or business interests are involved, these cases can be more complex, and you may doubt a general law firm has the experience you need. 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 with plain language, stays approachable, and helps you see your position and what comes next more clearly. 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 "Family Court Lawyers Melbourne" or "Family Court Lawyers", you can turn to us.
We adopt a settlement-first strategy for people navigating 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. Due to our focus on negotiation and family mediation, fewer than 5% of our cases proceed 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. We also offer specialised legal support to those going through high-asset separation or divorce involving family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets. If spousal maintenance may apply in your case, our lawyers can guide 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 focused on supporting families of every structure with compassionate and skilled representation, including LGBTQ+ families. Alongside end-of-relationship support, we even help prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) that meet your needs. If you're looking up "Family Court Lawyers Melbourne", "Family Case Lawyers Near Me" or "Same Sex Marriage Family Law", you can turn to us.
Our team will walk you through the family law process when you get in touch for a no-obligation, free phone consultation. Following that, we'll plan a strategy session where we'll evaluate your situation and create a plan for the upcoming steps. We work with you directly to secure practical resolutions when disagreements involving parenting or property arrangements occur. If parties still can't agree on an outcome, we'll continue to lead the process and pursue mediation or a hearing before a judge when required. For complete transparency, we even provide a comprehensive Costs Agreement covering the scope of work involved, billing framework and a tailored estimate based on your needs. We provide regular itemised invoices, so you know what work has been completed, how much time was involved and which professional carried out each task. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory help us remain accessible to families throughout Australia. Also, with direct contact with your lawyer, you can always stay updated on your matter and remain in charge of your legal decisions. If you've been exploring "Child Custody Lawyers Near Me" or "Separation Attorney", our online Information Centre provides free family law articles and insights.
