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. It's common, when getting legal advice, to feel unsure who to trust or to be concerned about unclear information, impersonal services or needless legalese. 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. Our team understands the legal and personal challenges involved, and by explaining your position, outlining your options and focusing on practical outcomes, we help you move forward with clarity. 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 Lawyers Augustine Heights" or "Family Lawyers Biggera Waters" 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.
It's easier to advocate for your parental interests and property rights with a knowledgeable lawyer at your side. While there are many ways to pursue a fair outcome, we lead with a settlement-first strategy, prioritising mediation and negotiation. 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'll provide specialised legal support tailored to your situation if your separation or divorce includes family trusts, family businesses or other complex assets. Parenting disputes can also be one of the more difficult parts following a split. 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 Lawyers Augustine Heights", "Experienced Family Lawyer Ipswich" or "Family Lawyers Churchill", 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.
To make things easier to follow and help you see what comes next, we begin with a free phone appointment with no obligation to proceed. After that, we schedule a strategy session to review your situation in detail and map out a plan according to your needs. Disagreements over parenting arrangements or property division can arise, so we closely cooperate with you to pursue favourable outcomes. In addition, during negotiations, our lawyers seek agreements reached by mutual consent. Our team provides continuous guidance should you require further mediation or if the matter escalates to a final hearing, ensuring you know what happens next. Through our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we offer legal services rooted in local understanding that allows us to better serve you. We give you an in-depth Costs Agreement at the start of your engagement to ensure transparency, plus regular itemised invoices and updates on legal fees and work completed. If you're interested in learning more about "Family Lawyers Sydney" or "Family Lawyer Melbourne", you can access the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights.
