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.

Dealing with separation or divorce can mean making decisions about finances, long-term plans, children and property, and the uncertainty surrounding those decisions can be hard to handle. As you navigate major personal and emotional transitions, you might also feel unsure about what comes next from both a financial and legal perspective. Parenting commitments, shared assets, business concerns or the extra complexity from blended families can add to the difficulty. In addition, you may worry that general practice firms won't have the level of experience required for your matter. We focus exclusively on family law at Australian Family Lawyers, so we understand the legal, practical and emotional hurdles you're up against. After merging with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our broad experience means we've worked on both simple and high-asset matters, and thousands of families turn to us annually for assistance. We were even shortlisted as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. We're a trusted partner ready to provide solutions-focused legal advice, even when you're looking into "Family Lawyer Cairns".
We employ a settlement-first approach, aiming to protect your property, parenting rights and financial interests without placing undue stress on you, your children or your former partner. Our lawyers focus on family mediation and negotiation because these pathways can often resolve parenting and property disputes without progressing to court. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we help you better understand your rights, responsibilities and possible outcomes while working towards a balanced resolution. We also connect you with highly experienced Mediators, and fewer than 5% of our cases progress to a final hearing. From assessing spousal maintenance arrangements to determining which assets and liabilities should be accounted for in a property settlement, we help you understand the key factors to consider. If your high-asset separation or divorce involves family trusts, businesses or substantial assets, our property settlement lawyers can help protect your financial interests by offering specialised legal support. Reaching an agreement with a former partner can often be difficult, too, which is why we provide compassionate support. Our team can work with you to reach practical agreements on child custody and child support, with guidance from child custody lawyers when needed. So, if you're exploring "Family Lawyer Caboolture" or "Family Lawyer Castle Hill", you can turn to us.
With Australian Family Lawyers, you get a team that's ready to guide you from the very beginning. You can book a free first phone consultation to speak directly with our team and get a clearer sense of the process with no pressure or obligation to continue. Communication remains direct throughout the process, which means you can speak with your lawyer without needing to go through an assistant or secretary. Afterwards, we'll schedule a strategy session to assess your circumstances and agree on the next steps together. If you and the other party disagree on property or parenting responsibilities, we'll collaborate closely with you to reach a constructive outcome, often through assisted negotiation or mediation. Throughout the hearing process, we'll continue providing guidance if matters move forward. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, our team also combines national capability with local understanding. As part of our commitment to transparency, we provide an upfront Costs Agreement and itemised updates, which can be reassuring when you're looking into "Child Custody Attorney Near Me" or "Property Settlement Lawyers". Additional support is available through our online Information Centre, where you can explore free articles and insights covering key family law topics. If you've been curious about "family law solicitor sydney" or "family law solicitor dandenong", book a consultation with us today.
