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.
When children, long-term plans, property or financial matters are involved, separation and divorce can be an especially daunting experience. You're dealing with the emotional weight of a significant life transition while working to understand the legal and financial implications of what comes next. The presence of blended families, shared assets, established wealth or business interests can create complex challenges that require a depth of experience many general law firms may lack. You might become uneasy, question who you can trust, or worry about receiving unclear guidance, generic service or unnecessary legal jargon. Australian Family Lawyers is ready to step in for these concerns. Our practice is dedicated exclusively to family law, and we speak plainly so you can better understand the legal process ahead, your available options and your position. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we've grown into the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Thousands of families turn to us during some of the most difficult periods in their lives, and so can you if you've been searching for "Family Lawyers Forest Lake" or "Family Lawyers Epping". What's more, at the Australian Law Awards, our firm has been recognised as a Law Firm of the Year finalist in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025.
Our lawyers approach every case with a settlement-first mindset because we know that reasonable negotiation and family mediation have the potential to spare you, your former partner and your children from the disruption of court proceedings. Notably, fewer than 5% of our matters reach a final hearing, as most of them 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 couples wanting to set clear expectations from the outset, our team can draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter marriage or partnership with a mutual understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyers Forest Lake", "Family Lawyers Flinders View" or "Family Lawyers Gisborne".
We offer a free, no-obligation phone consultation when you contact us, helping you gain a clearer understanding of the family law process. We'll then arrange a strategy session to discuss your circumstances in greater detail and develop a customised plan designed around your unique situation. If there's a disagreement about property or parenting arrangements, we collaborate with you to reach an amicable outcome. In addition to working towards a mutually agreed resolution, our team prepares you for every stage of the proceedings should the matter progress to further mediation or a final hearing. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory allow us to offer services that are rooted in local understanding. At the beginning of your engagement, you'll receive a comprehensive Costs Agreement, as well as regular itemised invoices, so you remain fully aware of both legal costs and work undertaken. You even get direct access to your lawyer, without needing to communicate through an assistant or secretary when you have concerns regarding "Family Law Solicitors" or "Section 60i Certificate". Our website's Information Centre also provides free access to family law insights and informative articles. If you're curious about "family lawyer parramatta" or "divorce solicitors", enquire 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.
