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. Parenting arrangements, shared assets, blended families, business interests or established wealth may present more challenges, and you may worry if a general law firm lacks the experience your situation requires. That's why choosing lawyers who deal solely with family law matters is very important. At Australian Family Lawyers, we manage many different types of family law matters, including more complex and higher-asset instances. We recognise you may fear getting confusing advice, impersonal treatment or unnecessary legal phrasing. Our team speaks plainly, stays approachable, and helps you gain a clearer view of your position and possible 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 Lawyer Bathurst" or "Family Lawyer Bendigo", you can turn to us.
At Australian Family Lawyers, we work on a settlement-first approach that focuses on negotiation so you can manage parenting concerns before court becomes necessary. We aim to settle disputes early when feasible, with fewer than 5% of cases advancing to a final hearing. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we help you approach discussions with a stronger understanding of your rights, responsibilities and possible outcomes. Also, in situations where mediation seems appropriate, our lawyers can arrange for you to meet experienced Mediators. When parenting arrangements become difficult to agree on, our child custody lawyers help you pursue solutions that consider your child's best interests while respecting your role as a parent. What's more, we assist with more complex child support scenarios, especially where private payment arrangements, formal disputes or major life changes need legal advice beyond standard Services Australia processes. We acknowledge the particular challenges LGBTQ+ families can face in family law as well, which is why we provide respectful representation that is reflective of your actual experiences. Alongside parenting concerns, our property settlement lawyers can advise on where financial arrangements affect your family's future. Whether you're looking into "Family Lawyer Bathurst", "Family Lawyer Baulkham Hills" or "Family Lawyer Blacktown", we keep the focus practical and child-centred.
We guide you through every stage of the process, beginning with a free, no-obligation phone consultation designed to give you a clear understanding of the processes in family law. Following your initial call, we conduct a strategy session where we review your situation together, then create a plan tailored to your priorities and circumstances. When disagreements regarding property or parenting duties arise, we aim for a favourable dispute resolution and negotiate on your behalf. Should an agreement remain out of reach, we'll guide you through each stage of the process, including mediation and, if needed, a hearing before a judge. We have a national reach, with family law offices offering access to experienced lawyers across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. We maintain transparent and competitive rates as well, supported by detailed Costs Agreements and itemised invoices, ensuring you always understand the scope of work, who is responsible for each task and the associated costs. You'll even be in direct contact with your lawyer, so information won't get tangled due to message relays. For extra clarity, our online Information Centre provides free family law articles, whether you're interested in "Divorce Lawyers Cost" or "Family Lawyer Richmond".
