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. Shared assets, parenting obligations, blended family issues, business interests or existing wealth can make things more complex, and you may be uncertain if a general law firm doesn't have the experience you're after. This is why working with lawyers solely dedicated to family law matters so much. Australian Family Lawyers handles a broad range of family law matters, including more complex and higher-asset cases. We recognise you may fear getting confusing advice, impersonal treatment or unnecessary legal phrasing. 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 Lawyer Mackay" or "Family Lawyer Liverpool", you can turn to us.
With a proficient lawyer advocating for your property and parental interests, the process can get easier. While there are plenty of strategies to protect you, we lead with a settlement-first approach focused on negotiation and mediation. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you navigate your rights and responsibilities before progressing matters to court wherever possible. As a result, less than 5% of our cases reach a final hearing. Working with our property settlement lawyers, you'll receive straightforward advice about which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement so you can make informed decisions. If you're navigating a separation or divorce involving family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets, we provide specialised legal support tailored to your circumstances. Disagreements about parenting can also be among the toughest issues after a split. Our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while helping you understand your rights and obligations throughout the custody process. If you're looking up "Family Lawyer Mackay", "Family Lawyer Logan" or "Family Lawyer Maroubra", you can turn to us for legal advice, whether you're still in the phase of separating from your partner or already pushing through with a divorce.
You can begin with a free, no-obligation phone appointment where we guide you to a clearer view of the family law process before formal engagement starts. Following that, we provide a detailed Costs Agreement that sets out the scope of work, billing structure and likely fees relevant to your circumstances. With itemised invoices provided along the way, you can also see the tasks undertaken, the time allocated to your matter and the professional responsible for completing the work. If changes to your circumstances affect the original estimate, we'll communicate this openly so you're never left unsure about what to expect. At the centre of our cost-effective model is our focus on delivering better value, from the initial consultation through to settlement. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we combine national reach with local guidance. Throughout your matter, you also have direct access to your lawyer, ensuring clear communication without the need to go through assistants or secretaries. Plus, you can visit the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights on topics such as "Melbourne Divorce Lawyer" or "Divorce Lawyers Maroubra". If you've been looking up "family law firms brisbane" or "custody lawyer", book a consultation with us today.
