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.

Separation or divorce can feel unclear, especially when decisions about finances, future plans, property, or children need to be made. As you navigate the emotional challenges of major transitions, you're also figuring out what comes next financially and legally. 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 might also be concerned you'll face impersonal service, excessive legal jargon or confusing advice. As such, we specialise entirely in family law here at Australian Family Lawyers. These disputes frequently involve emotional, practical and legal concerns, and we aim to make the process less overwhelming by speaking plainly, staying accessible and pursuing feasible 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 "Family Focus Lawyers" or "Family Law Lawyers Adelaide", you can turn to us.
Our team takes a settlement-first approach when assisting with financial, property or parenting matters. As knowledgeable family lawyers, we support you through negotiation and provide legal guidance for family mediation, helping you advance your interests without immediately escalating to court. As we aim to resolve matters before they can escalate, fewer than 5% of our matters reach a final court hearing. Our property settlement lawyers provide precise advice when it comes to asset settlement, and we can also help you navigate the complexities of spousal maintenance. Meanwhile, our child custody lawyers advocate for you and your child, providing empathetic support during what we know is a taxing and intricate process. While child support cases are usually handled by Services Australia, you can get key legal advice for more complex scenarios, including private payment agreements and formal disputes, from our lawyers. Whether you're looking up "Family Focus Lawyers" or something else, you can count on our team to deliver practical legal solutions tailored to your circumstances, including high-net-worth matters and specific hurdles LGBTQ+ families may face. If you want more information on "Family Law Lawyers Ballarat" or "Family Law Lawyers Bendigo", our process stays steady and clear, so you stay protected and informed throughout.
To begin, book a free, no-obligation phone consultation, and our team will help you understand the family law process and your initial options. Afterwards, we'll schedule a meeting to go over your situation and agree on a strategy for the remaining process. We're here to help you with assisted negotiation and dispute resolution, prioritising mediation where possible if there is a dispute about parenting or property arrangements. You and your lawyer should ideally resolve matters through mutual agreement, but if mediation or court proceedings are necessary, your lawyer will guide you through the process. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Additionally, we understand that you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition. Our lawyers are committed to working with you to explore available options at the beginning of your engagement. Throughout the process, you'll have direct access to your lawyer, who can answer your questions and provide consistent updates. You may also learn more about topics like "family lawyer parramatta" or "apply for divorce" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights.
