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.
Separation and divorce can feel overwhelming, particularly when finances, shared property, children or future plans are part of the situation. While coping with the emotional impact of a major transition in life, you're also attempting to understand what the future holds from both a legal and financial standpoint. When established wealth, shared assets, blended families or business interests are involved, the added layers of complexity require expertise that many general law firms simply may not have. You may feel uncertain about who to rely on, concerned about conflicting advice, or uncomfortable with impersonal service and excessive legal terminology. This is where Australian Family Lawyers comes in to help. With family law as our exclusive area of practice, we use plain language to help you make sense of your options, your current position and the legal steps that may follow. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we've grown into the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Thousands of families turn to us during some of the most difficult periods in their lives, and so can you if you've been searching for "Family Lawyer Balmain" or "Family Lawyer Ballarat". In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025, our firm was also recognised as a finalist for the Australian Law Awards' Law Firm of the Year award.
Our team of lawyers has a settlement-first approach for all of our cases because reasonable negotiation and family mediation often avoid placing you, your former partner and your children through disruptive court proceedings. Notably, fewer than 5% of our matters reach a final hearing, as most of them 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 couples wanting to set clear expectations from the outset, our team can draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter marriage or partnership with a mutual understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyer Balmain", "Family Lawyer Baulkham Hills" or "Family Lawyer Bathurst".
When you reach out to our family law offices for a free, no-obligation phone consultation, we start with clear information so you always know what to expect. To ensure full transparency, we provide a comprehensive Costs Agreement that explains our billing structure, sets out the scope of work and includes a customised estimate. As your matter progresses, you'll receive regular, itemised invoices showing the work undertaken, the time spent and the lawyer responsible for each task. Plus, if your circumstances change, we'll let you know right away about any updates to your estimate, helping you stay in control. From the first consultation to final settlement, we're committed to offering superior service and value as we operate on a cost-effective model. During times of transition, immediate access to funds may not always be available, and we understand that. Our lawyers work with clients from the beginning of their engagement to identify and explore available courses of action. And with direct access to your lawyer, you're always informed, empowering you to make decisions or gain answers for concerns related to "australian prenup" or "child support lawyer". You can also browse our Information Centre for articles and resources if you're curious about "Divorce Application Cost" or "Divorce Property Settlement Perth", so 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.
