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.

When your family circumstances shift after separation or divorce, parenting arrangements, shared assets and financial stability can all become more difficult to manage. Additionally, blended families, business interests or established wealth can make a split more complicated. It makes sense to feel uncertain about who to trust, particularly when you're concerned that some lawyers may offer confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon. At Australian Family Lawyers, we specialise exclusively in family law. We use plain language, remain approachable and help you understand your position, your options and the legal steps to come. 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, including a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Having worked on a wide range of cases, we see thousands of families across Australia come to us annually for reassurance when it matters most. At the Australian Law Awards, our firm was also recognised as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. With us, you can move forward with greater clarity, whether you're searching for "Family Lawyers Chelmer" or curious about "Family Lawyers Biggera Waters".
We take a settlement-first approach, prioritising negotiation and mediation as we pursue constructive solutions. Having us on your side means knowledgeable lawyers are available to help you advocate for your property and parental rights. Our team connects you with highly experienced Mediators, and because of our focus on legal guidance for family mediation, less than 5% of our matters actually progress to a final hearing. Property settlements, including business interests and family trusts, also won't feel as daunting during the divorce process with our property settlement lawyers, who help you identify every asset and liability involved. Should spousal maintenance or support be relevant, you'll have straightforward guidance on possible obligations or entitlements. We can also draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs), also commonly known as prenups, to provide couples with clarity from the beginning. For parents who need guidance for child custody and support decisions, our child custody lawyers are available to provide insights on your rights and responsibilities throughout the process of seeking custody. Moreover, LGBTQ+ families looking up "Family Lawyers Chelmer" can rest assured that they'll get compassionate and competent support from us, no matter how their family is structured. This holds true whether you're learning more about "Family Lawyers Churchill" or "Family Lawyers Brassall".
We start with a free, no-obligation phone appointment to make things easier to follow and give you a clear picture of the next steps. After that, we schedule a strategy session to review your situation in detail and map out a plan according to your needs. We closely work with you when conflicts arise around property or parenting arrangements, advocating for favourable outcomes. We also negotiate on your behalf and aim for agreements reached by mutual consent. We'll guide you through each step of the process should mediation or a final hearing be required, so you know what to expect. Through our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we offer legal services rooted in local understanding that allows us to better serve you. We also ensure transparency by providing a detailed Costs Agreement at the start of our engagement, regular itemised invoices, and ongoing updates about legal fees and work completed. If you're interested in learning more about "Divorce Solicitor Brisbane" or "Child Custody Lawyer Cairns", you can access the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights.
