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.

Separation or divorce can feel unclear, especially when decisions about finances, future plans, property, or children need to be made. Alongside the emotional weight of these major changes, you're also working to understand what the future may look like financially and legally. Plus, family law issues can be more complex when they include blended families, business interests, shared assets, established wealth or parenting duties, and you may worry that a general law firm lacks the depth of expertise you're looking for. You may also worry you'll get confusing advice, needless legal terms or an impersonal service. For that reason, we at Australian Family Lawyers focus exclusively on family law. These disputes frequently involve emotional, practical and legal concerns, and we aim to make the process less overwhelming by speaking plainly, staying accessible and pursuing feasible outcomes. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we also became the nation's largest specialised family law firm. Our team includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists, and thousands of families trust us each year, so whether you're searching for "Family Lawyers Ashmore" or "Family Lawyers Mandurah", you can turn to us.
We take a settlement-first approach for people going through separation or divorce. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you protect your rights while working towards resolutions before matters are escalated to court. Our team can also introduce you to 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. What's more, we provide specialised legal assistance for high-asset separations or divorces that involve family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets. 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 here to support families of all structures with compassionate and capable representation, including LGBTQ+ families. Besides end-of-relationship support, we even help prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) according to your needs. If you're looking up "Family Lawyers Ashmore", "Family Lawyers Maudsland" or "Family Lawyers Gaven", you can turn to us.
The engagement begins with a no-obligation, free phone consultation, where you can speak with our team and gain a clear understanding of the family law process. We then arrange a strategy session to review your circumstances and outline the next steps. When disagreements over property or parenting arrangements arise, we'll closely cooperate with you to pursue a practical and favourable resolution. Our team advocates for you in negotiations while pursuing mediation or agreement wherever possible. When a resolution can't be reached, the matter may move to mediation or a court hearing, and we'll continue to support you through every step. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, you benefit from both national expertise and local understanding. Throughout the process, you have direct access to your lawyer to ensure clear and consistent communication, especially when you have enquiries about "Divorce Lawyer Melbourne" or "Divorce Lawyers Perth". You also gain access to helpful resources through the Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights that may answer general questions about "divorce south australia" or "best family lawyer sunshine coast". So, schedule a consultation with us today to get started.
