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.
If separation or divorce raises questions about any children, property or long-term plans involved, it's reasonable to feel unsure 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. This is the reason it's so important to engage lawyers who focus exclusively on family law. At Australian Family Lawyers, we deal with a broad range of family law issues, including those that are more complex or involve bigger assets. We acknowledge that you could be worried about unclear advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal language. Our team keeps our language straightforward and stays approachable to give you a clearer picture of your position and options. 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 Settlement" or "Family Law Legal Advice", you can turn to us.
Having skilled lawyers with you helps you defend your rights as a parent and property owner, whether you're beginning a separation or already finalising a divorce. Our settlement-first approach means we prioritise practical negotiation and family mediation over heading to court, helping you avoid unnecessary difficulties. Plus, we offer legal guidance for family mediation when you want clarity on the process. If your situation involves high-value property, family trusts or business interests, our property settlement lawyers provide tailored advice so you can move forward with confidence, no matter how complex your assets may be. Spousal maintenance is also part of our services, and we help you know whether you can receive support as your right or must make payments as part of your obligations. For child custody and support matters, our child custody lawyers provide expert guidance and advocate for your child's best interests. In addition, we help couples set a clear foundation of trust through Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) or prenups. No matter if you're looking into "Family Law Settlement", "Family Law Separation" or "Family Law Australia Nsw", our comprehensive services seek to make the legal process clearer for you and your family.
To get started, schedule a free, no-obligation phone consultation so that our team can help you understand the family law process and your initial options. Then, we'll set up a session to discuss your situation and plan the next steps in the process. When disputes arise around property or parenting arrangements, our team will guide you through assisted negotiation and dispute resolution with the goal of agreeing through mediation where possible. Ideally, you and your lawyer will finalise matters by mutual consent, but if necessary, your lawyer will guide you through mediation or court proceedings. 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 start of your engagement. You'll have direct access to your lawyer throughout, so they can answer your questions and give regular updates. You may also learn more about topics like "apply for divorce" or "family law lawyers" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights. If you've been browsing for "Divorce Application Cost" or "Property Settlement Lawyers Brisbane", contact us today to get started.
