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 brings children, property or long-term plans into the equation, it's normal to feel unsure about what comes next 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 work across a wide range of family law cases, including more complex and higher-asset situations. We acknowledge that you could be worried about unclear advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal language. Our team communicates clearly, remains approachable, and guides you to a clearer view of your position and next steps. 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 Law Lawyers Coolangatta" or "Divorce Lawyers Cairns", you can turn to us.
Parenting and child custody talks can be particularly challenging when separated partners disagree on major choices affecting their children. Our negotiation-focused, settlement-first approach allows us to prioritise your family's wellbeing. Because our team focuses on resolving matters early, less than 5% of our cases progress to a final hearing. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we help you become more informed about your rights, responsibilities and options before discussions begin. We also advocate for outcomes that consider the best interests of both you and your child while helping you navigate the legal realities of parenting arrangements. Our child custody lawyers can even assist with more complex child support matters, including private payment agreements, formal disputes and significant changes in circumstances. If your separation involves high-value assets, family trusts or businesses, our property settlement lawyers can help you identify what forms part of a settlement while helping you better understand your legal obligations and rights. Other than that, we're familiar with how the family law system can present specific challenges for LGBTQ+ families, and we're dedicated to providing compassionate representation mindful of your lived experience. Whether you're searching for "Family Law Lawyers Coolangatta", "Best Divorce Lawyers Kellyville" or "Best Family Lawyer In Perth", know that we can help with steady legal guidance.
To make things easier to follow and help you see what comes next, we begin with a free phone appointment with no obligation to proceed. Following that, we organise a strategy session to review your situation closely and map out a plan aligned to your best interests. We work closely with you to reach favourable outcomes for when either party can't agree on property or parenting. We also negotiate on your behalf and aim for agreements reached by mutual consent. If we need further mediation or a final hearing, we'll keep guiding you through every stage so you know what to expect. 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.
