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. Matters involving shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can be complex, leading you to question whether a general firm has the required experience. Oftentimes, you might feel uncertain about who to trust when looking for legal advice, or you may be concerned about vague advice, impersonal service or excessive legalese. As such, at Australian Family Lawyers, we work alongside people facing separation, divorce and family law matters, offering straightforward guidance every step of the way. Because it can be challenging on both a legal and personal level, we provide clarity about your situation, outline the paths available and help you pursue workable outcomes. 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 Ballarat" or "Family Lawyers Bendigo" 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.
Navigating parenting arrangements after separation can be particularly difficult when you and your former partner struggle to see eye to eye on decisions involving your children. We adopt a settlement-first approach to resolve disputes while avoiding the hurdles of going to court. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we help you become more informed about your rights, responsibilities and options before discussions begin. The goal is to support outcomes that serve your child's best interests while helping you understand your legal responsibilities and available choices throughout the process. Our child custody lawyers even assist with child support matters, including private payment agreements, formal disputes and significant changes in circumstances where standard Services Australia assessments may no longer suit your needs. And, recognising the distinct legal issues LGBTQ+ families may face, we remain committed to providing thoughtful and respectful advocacy no matter how your family is formed. Alongside parenting matters, our property settlement lawyers can help you identify which debts and assets form part of a settlement, particularly when family trusts, businesses or significant wealth are involved. So, if you're browsing for "Family Lawyers Ballarat", "Family Lawyers Burwood" or "Family Lawyers Broadmeadows", know that we're here for practical legal support.
We ensure that you get straightforward answers, direct access and a legal team that respects your need for transparency. You can begin with a free, no-obligation phone consultation, and we'll help you see the family law process clearly. Following that, we arrange a focused strategy session with you to evaluate your situation and outline the practical steps moving forward. When disagreements over parenting or property arrangements lead to a dispute, we handle negotiations on your behalf and work towards an efficient resolution. If a case needs mediation or a hearing, we stay with you through every step, explaining what's happening and the options available to you, keeping you fully informed. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory mean you get national expertise rooted in local knowledge. Throughout your matter, you'll maintain direct access to your lawyer instead of a go-between. You can also explore our free Information Centre for more insights on divorce, parenting orders and more, whether you've been curious about "divorce solicitors" or "family lawyer price". If you've been searching for "Divorce Lawyers Newcastle" or "Divorce Lawyers Cost" and you're ready to take the next steps, book a consultation now.
