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.
Undergoing separation or divorce can create strain across many parts of your life, especially where children, shared assets, money matters or future arrangements need attention. You may also wonder what family law means in your specific case and whether a general law firm can provide the depth of experience required when business interests, blended family dynamics or established wealth complicate the matter. Here at Australian Family Lawyers, we're wholly focused on family law. This means our team has substantial experience navigating the legal, practical and personal considerations that frequently accompany separation and related disputes. We recognise that many people are looking for direct answers without confusing advice, impersonal service or excessive legal jargon, and that's why we prioritise clear communication and an approachable manner from the start. 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 that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our lawyers advise on many family law matters, including higher-asset cases that call for careful consideration. Whether you've been searching for "Family Lawyers Applecross" or "Family Lawyers Burnie", our team helps you move forward with clear and steady guidance.
People navigating separation or divorce can benefit from our settlement-first approach. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you protect your rights while working towards resolutions before matters are escalated to court. Our lawyers can even connect you with highly experienced Mediators. Because we prioritise negotiation and family mediation, less than 5% of our cases progress to a final hearing. If you're working through which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement, our property settlement lawyers guide you through the legal and financial considerations involved. Plus, for those going through high-asset separation or divorce, we offer specialised legal support when family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets are involved. Should spousal maintenance become relevant to your situation, our lawyers can explain your financial obligations following separation. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while guiding you through custody arrangements. We're also committed to providing compassionate and competent representation for families of every structure, including LGBTQ+ families. Beyond end-of-relationship support, we even help prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) based on your requirements. If you're looking up "Family Lawyers Applecross", "Family Lawyers Busselton" or "Family Lawyer Werribee", you can turn to us.
We recognise that you want a structured, clear path ahead, so we've designed each stage to be as simple as possible. Start with a free phone appointment to speak directly with our team and gain a better understanding of the proceedings. Following the consultation stage, we'll arrange a strategy session to review your specific situation and create a plan tailored to your needs. If disagreements around property or parenting arrangements arise, we work closely with you to pursue an ideal outcome. Afterwards, our lawyers will oversee negotiations with the objective of reaching a mutual agreement. In situations where an agreement can't be reached this way, we're prepared to guide you through mediation or a hearing. With family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we bring you access to local expertise across Australia. So that you know where you stand, we're upfront about fees and provide you with a straightforward Costs Agreement and regular itemised invoices. The same clarity applies when you ask us for guidance on topics like "Divorce Lawyers Cairns" or "Prenup Lawyer Sydney". Whether you want to learn more about "separation certificate qld" and "family law divorce" or are ready to take action, contact us today.
