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.

When children, properties, finances and long-term plans are involved in divorce and separation matters, it can be especially overwhelming to handle all at once. If there are blended families, parenting plans, business interests or shared assets, it may be harder to determine whether your chosen firm has the appropriate background. You may also feel uncertain about who to trust or worry that you'll be given unclear advice, impersonal service or needlessly complex legal language. At Australian Family Lawyers, we assist people with separation, divorce and family law matters, concentrating on making every stage easier to understand. Because we focus solely on family law, we understand both the practical and emotional difficulties, including complex and higher-asset cases. We provide you with clarity on your position and options so you can move forward with confidence. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team, including a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Each year, thousands of families turn to us for support, and so can you if you've been searching for "Family Lawyer Southport". You'll see we've even been named a finalist for Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025.
We aim to resolve disputes through negotiation and family mediation rather than in court, as part of our settlement-first principle. For that reason, less than 5% of our matters reach a final hearing. We can connect you with experienced Mediators who can provide legal guidance for family mediation and help you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset. Alongside resolving disputes, we give straightforward legal advice on the important legal matters that arise in separation and divorce. This includes support from property settlement lawyers, who can help identify and divide assets and debts. We also assist high-net-worth individuals who have complex arrangements such as trusts or family businesses. Legal advice covers areas like spousal maintenance, and we help with Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to define clear financial arrangements. For families, we have child custody lawyers on our team who can offer guidance on child custody and support, focusing on the child's best interests while helping you understand your obligations. On top of these, we advise on diverse family arrangements, including LGBTQ+ families, with respectful, practical support tailored to your circumstances. Whether you've been interested in "Family Lawyer Strathpine" or "Family Lawyer Swan Hill", you can turn to us.
To start with Australian Family Lawyers, arrange a free, no-obligation phone consultation to discuss your circumstances and understand the family law process. After your consultation, we set up a detailed strategy session to review your circumstances and plan the next steps. If there are disputes around property or parenting arrangements, our team will work closely with you through assisted negotiation and mediation, aiming to reach a fair outcome without unnecessary escalation. Should an agreement not be possible, we'll support you through mediation or court proceedings. With experience across multiple Australian jurisdictions and with family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, our firm combines national expertise with local understanding. As part of our commitment to transparency, we provide an upfront Costs Agreement, regular itemised invoices and updates as conditions change, so you can rest easy if you've been looking up "Family Lawyer Liverpool" or "Family Lawyers Specialising In Narcissistic Abuse". You'll also have direct access to your lawyer throughout the process, with consistent communication and additional resources available through our Information Centre. If you've been curious about "legal separation mediation" or "divorce lawyer townsville", book a consultation with us today.
