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. Shared assets, parenting plans, blended family issues, business interests or significant wealth can make cases complex and leave you wondering if a general firm has the necessary experience. Often, when seeking legal advice, you may feel unsure about who to trust or concerned about unclear advice, impersonal services or unnecessary legal jargon. 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. Because it can be challenging on both a legal and personal level, we provide clarity about your situation, outline the paths available and help you pursue workable outcomes. 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 Everton Park" or "Family Lawyers Collingwood Park" 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.
Our settlement-first approach means we always look for constructive solutions, prioritising negotiation and mediation. When we're on your side, you'll have knowledgeable lawyers helping 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. Where spousal maintenance or support might apply, you'll receive clear advice about any potential duties or entitlements. In addition, our team drafts Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs), also known as prenups, so couples have clarity from the outset. 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 Everton Park" 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 Willawong" or "Family Lawyers Corinda".
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. Next, we arrange a strategy session to go over your situation in detail and outline a plan tailored to your needs. We work closely with you to reach favourable outcomes for when either party can't agree on property or parenting. 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 give you an in-depth Costs Agreement at the start of your engagement to ensure transparency, plus regular itemised invoices and updates on legal fees and work completed. If you're interested in learning more about "Child Custody Lawyer Cairns" or "Amicable Separation Agreement", you can access the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights.
