Uncertainty is something that comes with separation or divorce, especially where children, property, finances or long-term plans are concerned. You want answers that give you back control, but the tangle of legal and financial details can be bewildering, particularly if your family's situation includes shared assets, business interests or complicated parenting responsibilities. In addition, you could be anxious about going with a firm inexperienced in these cases or that provides impersonal guidance when considerate support is what you need. At Australian Family Lawyers, we specialise exclusively in family law, so you can be sure that we can understand your worries. Our team speaks plainly and prioritises practical outcomes, lifting some of the weight with consistent, direct guidance. You can feel confident trusting our team because, following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now Australia's largest specialised family law firm and home to a team that includes Accredited Family Law Specialists.

To get started, arrange a complimentary, no-obligation call so our team can explain the family law process and your initial options. Next, we'll organise a session to talk about your circumstances and develop a strategy for what follows. In the event that disagreements arise over parenting or property arrangements, we'll assist you using assisted negotiation and dispute resolution, aiming to settle through mediation where possible. In an ideal case, you and your lawyer would try to resolve matters by mutual consent, but if necessary, your lawyer would guide you through mediation or court proceedings. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Additionally, we understand that you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition.
