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 it comes to separation or divorce, children, property, finances and long-term plans can be on the line. During this time, you're coping with emotional upheaval as you figure out what comes next for your assets, responsibilities and future. You might wonder if your situation is simply too layered for a generalist law firm to manage with the nuance you need. Fortunately, we at Australian Family Lawyers are here to support you, focusing exclusively on family law to provide clear guidance backed by extensive experience. Our team of Accredited Family Law Specialists deals with a wide range of family law matters, from straightforward separations to the most intricate, high-asset disputes. With our recent merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we've become the nation's largest specialised family law firm, rooted in a clear, solutions-based approach and genuine care for your peace of mind and best interests. Thousands of families every year place their trust in us to help them understand their situation and options. We speak in plain language and focus on practical outcomes, so you can count on our team to help you navigate the Family Law legal system if you've been searching for "Family Lawyers Coburg" or "Family Lawyers Burwood".
Our team of lawyers has a settlement-first approach for all of our cases because reasonable negotiation and family mediation often avoid placing you, your former partner and your children through disruptive court proceedings. Actually, fewer than 5% of our matters ever make it to a final hearing, and most 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 Coburg", "Family Lawyers Chatswood" or "Family Lawyers Chermside".
When you reach out to our family law offices for a free, no-obligation phone consultation, we start with clear information so you always know what to expect. To ensure full transparency, we provide a comprehensive Costs Agreement that explains our billing structure, sets out the scope of work and includes a customised estimate. During the course of your matter, we'll provide regular, itemised invoices detailing the tasks undertaken, the time involved and the lawyer who carried out the work. And if your circumstances change, we'll update you promptly about any adjustments to your estimate, so you stay in control. From the first consultation to final settlement, we're committed to offering superior service and value as we operate on a cost-effective model. We know that securing immediate access to funds can be challenging, particularly during transitional periods. At the beginning of your engagement, our lawyers will work closely with you to assess and explore your available options. And with direct access to your lawyer, you're always informed, empowering you to make decisions or gain answers for concerns related to "custody lawyer" or "family law divorce". You can also browse our Information Centre for articles and resources if you're curious about "Property Settlement Lawyers" or "Binding Financial Agreement Lawyers", so book a consultation now.

Millie, directed by Darren Mort, sheds light on the emotional journey of a young girl navigating the challenges of her parents’ separation. This powerful film, told from one child’s perspective, explores the genesis of childhood trauma and dissociation.
