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.
Separation or divorce can disrupt nearly all aspects of everyday life, particularly when parenting, joint properties, financial obligations or long-term plans are affected. You may also feel unsure how family law applies to your situation or whether a general law firm has the specialist experience you need when business interests, blended families or established wealth further complicate matters. 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 manage a broad range of family law matters, including higher-asset cases that require close attention. Whether you've been searching for "Family Lawyers Ballarat" or "Family Lawyers Bendigo", our team helps you move forward with clear and steady guidance.
Our lawyers approach each case with a settlement-first mindset because reasonable negotiation and family mediation can spare you, your former partner and your children the hassle of court proceedings. Notably, fewer than 5% of our matters reach a final hearing, as most of them are resolved through settlement. We provide the legal guidance for family mediation that makes these out-of-court resolutions possible. On the other hand, those looking for property settlement lawyers can trust our team to break down what's included in your property pool, help you identify assets and debts and advise you on securing the fairest possible outcome for your situation. You can also count on our child custody lawyers to advocate for you and your child, and we're even familiar with the specific hurdles faced by LGBTQ+ families in the family law system. For those looking to create clear expectations early on, our team can draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to encourage a mutual understanding before marriage or partnership begins. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyers Ballarat", "Family Lawyers Bundoora" or "Family Lawyers Broadmeadows".
We ensure that you get straightforward answers, direct access and a legal team that respects your need for transparency. You can start with a free, no-obligation phone consultation where we'll help you gain a clear view of the family law process. Following that, we arrange a focused strategy session with you to evaluate your situation and outline the practical steps moving forward. Where parenting or property disagreements create disputes, we manage negotiations on your behalf to pursue an efficient resolution. If mediation or a hearing becomes necessary, our team will communicate with you throughout each phase, explaining what's happening and your available options, so you're kept 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. Regardless of the matter, your lawyer will deal directly with you rather than involving a third party. You can also explore our free Information Centre for more insights on divorce, parenting orders and more, whether you've been curious about "family dispute resolution" or "divorce australia". If you've been searching for "Divorce Lawyer Sydney" or "Family Violence Lawyer Melbourne" and you're ready to take the next steps, book a consultation now.
