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.
There can be a lot of stress involved in a separation or divorce, especially when children, shared property, financial commitments or future plans need to be resolved. You may also question how family law relates to your circumstances or what expertise a general law firm can provide when business assets, blended family arrangements or established wealth further complicate the process. We focus solely on family law at Australian Family Lawyers. This provides our team with a well-rounded understanding of the legal, practical and personal complexities that often emerge during separation and related disputes. We recognise that many people are looking for direct answers without confusing advice, impersonal service or excessive legal jargon, and that's why we prioritise clear communication and an approachable manner from the start. 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 that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our lawyers work across a broad range of family law matters, including higher-asset cases that require careful attention. Whether you've been searching for "Family Lawyers Doreen" or "Child Support Lawyers Melbourne", our team helps you move forward with clear and steady guidance.
Our lawyers approach each case with a settlement-first mindset because reasonable negotiation and family mediation can spare you, your former partner and your children the hassle of court proceedings. In fact, less than 5% of our matters ever reach a final hearing, with most being 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 couples seeking clear expectations from the start, we can prepare Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter into marriage or partnership with a common understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyers Doreen", "Divorce Lawyers Pakenham" or "Famous Divorce Lawyers".
To get started, arrange a complimentary, no-obligation call so our team can explain the family law process and your initial options. Afterwards, we'll schedule a meeting to go over your situation and agree on a strategy for the remaining process. In the event that disagreements arise over parenting or property arrangements, we'll assist you using assisted negotiation and dispute resolution, aiming to settle through mediation where possible. The best outcome is settling matters by mutual consent, but if that's not possible, your lawyer can assist you in mediation or in court. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Furthermore, 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. You'll have direct access to your lawyer throughout, so they can answer your questions and give regular updates. You may also learn more about topics like "custody lawyer" or "central coast family lawyer" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights. If you've been browsing for "Family Lawyers Newcastle" or "Divorce Australia Nsw", contact us today to get started.

This powerful film, told from one child’s perspective, explores the genesis of childhood trauma and dissociation.
