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. When shared assets, established wealth, blended family arrangements, parenting responsibilities or business interests are involved, these cases can be more complex, and you may doubt a general law firm has the experience you need. That's why working with lawyers who focus solely on family law is so important. At Australian Family Lawyers, we work across a wide range of family law cases, including more complex and higher-asset situations. We acknowledge that you could be worried about unclear advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal language. 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 Newstead" or "Family Lawyer Newcastle", you can turn to us.
Our lawyers approach every case with a settlement-first mindset because we know that reasonable negotiation and family mediation have the potential to spare you, your former partner and your children from the disruption of court proceedings. Actually, less than 5% of our matters proceed to a final hearing, with most being 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 seeking clear expectations from the start, we can prepare Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter into marriage or partnership with a common understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyer Newstead", "Family Lawyer Nerang" or "Family Lawyer Mount Gravatt".
We'll be with you at every step, starting with a free, no-obligation phone appointment that helps you understand how things work in family law. Following your first call, we meet for a strategy session to evaluate your situation together and build a plan that aligns with your goals and circumstances. In the event of property or parenting-related disagreements, we focus on securing a favourable dispute resolution while negotiating for you. If agreement still can't be reached, we'll continue to guide you through each stage of the process, including mediation or a hearing before a judge if required. 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. Also, by providing comprehensive Costs Agreements and itemised invoices, along with transparent and competitive rates, we ensure you always know the scope of work, the costs involved and the professional accountable for each task. 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 "Cost Of A Divorce Lawyer" or "Online Divorce Application". If you've been looking up "divorce solicitors" or "australian prenup", enquire 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.
