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.
During separation or divorce, you're dealing with both the emotional toll of a big change and the need to know your legal and financial position going forward. Complex issues such as shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can lead you to question a general firm's level of experience. Often, when you seek legal advice, you may feel unsure who to trust or worried about unclear guidance, impersonal services or needless legal jargon. For that reason, Australian Family Lawyers is committed to supporting people through separation, divorce and family law matters with clear guidance and a steady hand across the process. Because it can be challenging on both a legal and personal level, we provide clarity about your situation, outline the paths available and help you pursue workable outcomes. Following a merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we have become the largest specialised family law firm in Australia, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. You can ask us about "Family Lawyer Maryborough" or "Family Lawyer Liverpool" and rest assured that you're supported by lawyers with extensive experience across a wide range of matters, including more complex and higher-asset cases.
A knowledgeable lawyer by your side can help you assert property rights or advocate for your parental interests. While protecting your future can be done through various strategies, our approach prioritises settlement through 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. That's why fewer than 5% of our cases proceed to 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. We can provide specialised legal support to suit your circumstances, especially if your separation or divorce is tangled with family business, trusts and other complex assets. Plus, one of the more challenging aspects after a split is parenting arrangements. 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 Maryborough", "Family Lawyer Malvern" or "Family Lawyer Logan", 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.
When you contact us for a free, no-obligation phone consultation, we'll explain the family law process in detail. From there, we'll organise a strategy session, which allows for an in-depth analysis of your situation and the development of a plan for your next steps. We work with you directly to secure practical resolutions when disagreements involving parenting or property arrangements occur. In cases where you still can't reach an agreement, we'll keep providing legal guidance the whole time, including mediation or a hearing with a judge if needed. As part of our commitment to full transparency, you'll also receive a comprehensive Costs Agreement that clearly explains the scope of work, billing structure and a tailored estimate based on your particular situation. You'll receive regular itemised invoices that clearly outline completed work, time spent and the professional who carried out each task. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory help us remain accessible to families throughout Australia. On top of this, you'll have direct contact with your lawyer, so you're always in the loop and have control over your legal decisions. If you've been exploring "Separation Lawyers" or "Family Attorney", our online Information Centre provides free family law articles and insights.
