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.
When it comes to separation or divorce, you're managing both the emotional impact of a significant change and the need to understand your legal and financial position moving 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. Often, when seeking legal advice, you may feel unsure about who to trust or concerned about unclear advice, impersonal services or unnecessary legal jargon. This is why, at Australian Family Lawyers, we help you navigate separation, divorce and other family law matters, giving clear and steady guidance throughout 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 Bankstown Nsw" or "Family Lawyers Bankstown" 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.
Having a knowledgeable lawyer by your side can make it easier to advocate for your property and parental interests. While there are plenty of strategies to protect you, we lead with a settlement-first approach focused on negotiation and mediation. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you navigate your rights and responsibilities before progressing matters to court wherever possible. This approach has resulted in under 5% of our cases reaching 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. If you're navigating a separation or divorce involving family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets, we provide specialised legal support tailored to your circumstances. Disagreements about parenting can also be among the toughest issues after 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 Bankstown Nsw", "Family Lawyers Ballina" or "Family Lawyers Ardross", 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.
You can start with our no-obligation, free phone appointment, and we'll help you see the family law process more clearly before you formally engage us. From there, we provide a detailed Costs Agreement that outlines the scope of work, billing structure and estimated fees based on your situation. With itemised invoices provided along the way, you can also see the tasks undertaken, the time allocated to your matter and the professional responsible for completing the work. If changes to your circumstances affect the original estimate, we'll communicate this openly so you're never left unsure about what to expect. Our cost-effective model focuses on better value from initial consultation through to settlement. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we combine national reach with local guidance. We also give you direct access to your lawyer from start to finish, so communication stays clear without relying on assistants or secretaries. Plus, you can visit the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights on topics such as "Divorce Lawyer Costs" or "Family Lawyer For Divorce". If you've been looking up "divorce solicitors" or "family dispute resolution", book a consultation with us today.
