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.

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. Our team knows the legal and personal challenges involved, and by clarifying your position, setting out your options and prioritising 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 Bellbird Park" 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.
Australian Family Lawyers places strong emphasis on settlement, encouraging negotiation and family mediation as a way to manage property and parenting matters without resorting to court proceedings. Our team helps you navigate the process by providing legal guidance for family mediation, thereby helping you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset, and we can also connect you with highly experienced Mediators. Less than 5% of our matters proceed to a final hearing, reflecting our strong focus on early resolution. In addition, our property settlement lawyers provide clear guidance on key legal considerations when identifying shared assets and debts, all while working towards a fair outcome. We also help with more complex circumstances, including those involving high-asset matters like family trusts or businesses, and offer advice on spousal maintenance. When children are involved, our child custody lawyers provide empathetic guidance about custody arrangements and child support. Whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyers Bellbird Park", "Family Lawyers Ballina" or "Family Lawyers Albany Creek", you can trust that we provide compassionate, competent representation that respects your lived experience, helping you understand your options while prioritising your child's or children's best interests. For LGBTQ+ families, this approach also extends to the specific hurdles they may face, so you can turn to us regardless of your family structure.
Start by scheduling a free, no-obligation phone consultation so our team can walk you through the family law process and your initial options. Next, we'll organise a session to talk through your circumstances and develop a strategy for what follows. When disputes arise around property or parenting arrangements, our team will guide you through assisted negotiation and dispute resolution with the goal of agreeing through mediation where possible. You and your lawyer should ideally resolve matters through mutual agreement, but if mediation or court proceedings are necessary, your lawyer will guide you through the process. 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. Our lawyers are committed to working with you to explore available options at the beginning of your engagement. At every stage, you'll be able to directly contact your lawyer, who'll answer questions and provide timely updates. You may also learn more about topics like "family violence lawyer" or "family law lawyer fees" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights. If you've been browsing for "Affordable Family Lawyer Brisbane" or "Binding Financial Agreement Wa", contact us today to get started.
