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.
In cases where a divorce or separation affects children, property or long-term plans, it's understandable to be unsure about what to expect legally and financially. Shared assets, parenting responsibilities, blended families, business interests or established wealth can make these matters more layered, and you may worry that a general law firm may not have the experience you're looking for. This is the reason it's so important to engage lawyers who focus exclusively on family law. At Australian Family Lawyers, we manage many different types of family law matters, including more complex and higher-asset instances. We recognise you may fear getting confusing advice, impersonal treatment or unnecessary legal phrasing. Our team speaks plainly, stays approachable, and helps you gain a clearer view of your position and possible next steps. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we became the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our approach remains grounded in solutions-based practice and an empathetic understanding of the challenges families face, which is why thousands trust us each year; if you're looking up "Family Lawyers Cohuna" or "Family Lawyers Chatswood", you can turn to us.
We adopt a settlement-first strategy for people navigating separation or divorce. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you protect your rights while working towards resolutions before matters are escalated to court. Our lawyers can put you in touch with highly experienced Mediators as well. We prioritise negotiation and family mediation, which means less than 5% of our cases proceed to a final hearing. If you're working through which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement, our property settlement lawyers guide you through the legal and financial considerations involved. Additionally, we provide specialised legal support for high-asset separations or divorces that include family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets. Should spousal maintenance become relevant to your situation, our lawyers can explain your financial obligations following separation. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while guiding you through custody arrangements. We're also committed to providing compassionate and competent representation for families of every structure, including LGBTQ+ families. In addition to end-of-relationship support, we even prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to suit your needs. If you're looking up "Family Lawyers Cohuna", "Family Lawyers Cheltenham" or "Family Lawyers Coffs Harbour", you can turn to us.
Our team will walk you through the family law process when you get in touch for a no-obligation, free phone consultation. Next, we'll arrange a strategy session to review your situation and develop a plan for the upcoming steps. If conflicts emerge around parenting or property arrangements, we support you in pursuing practical resolutions. In the event that an agreement still can't be reached, we'll continue to guide you through the process, including mediation and a hearing before a judge when necessary. To ensure total transparency, we even issue a comprehensive Costs Agreement that sets out the scope of work, our billing structure and a tailored estimate specific to your situation. You'll receive regular itemised invoices, so you can see what work was done, how long it took and which professional handled each task. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory help us remain accessible to families throughout Australia. In addition, you'll be able to contact your lawyer directly, so you always stay informed and in control of your legal choices. If you've been exploring "Best Family Attorney" or "Divorce Lawyers Cairns", our online Information Centre provides free family law articles and insights.
