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 family life changes after separation or divorce, parenting arrangements, shared assets and keeping finances stable can be more challenging. Apart from that, a split can become more complex when business interests, blended families or established wealth are involved. It's normal to be unsure who to trust, particularly if you fear that some lawyers will give confusing advice, impersonal service or needless legal jargon. At Australian Family Lawyers, we focus solely on family law. We use plain language, remain approachable and help you understand your position, your options and the legal steps to come. 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, including a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. With experience across many types of cases, thousands of families across Australia seek us out every year for reassurance when it matters most. We have also been repeatedly recognised as an Australian Law Awards finalist for Law Firm of the Year in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. With us, you can move forward with greater clarity, whether you're searching for "Family Lawyers Gardenvale" or curious about "Family Lawyer Winthrop".
For people facing divorce or separation, our approach prioritises settlement first and foremost. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we walk you through your rights and responsibilities while working towards practical resolutions. By focusing on resolving disputes before court action becomes necessary, our team ensures that fewer than 5% of cases move on to a final hearing. Navigating assets and liabilities is an important step following a split, and our property settlement lawyers explain the legal and financial considerations involved. Specialised legal support is available for complex family law matters involving high-value assets, business interests or family trusts. Couples who are in a relationship can even benefit from our assistance in setting out clearer arrangements through Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs), with advice from our lawyers and agreements drafted according to your needs. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for outcomes that support the best interests of your child while guiding you through your rights and obligations throughout the process. Whether you're exploring "Family Lawyers Gardenvale", "Family Lawyers Brentwood" or "Family Lawyers Clarkson", you can turn to us for steady legal guidance. No matter your family's structure, we remain committed to providing competent and compassionate legal representation.
When you reach out to us, you can start with a no-obligation, free phone consultation where we help you gain clarity on the family law process. Afterwards, we'll coordinate a strategy session to examine your circumstances in more depth and build a personalised plan that reflects your unique situation. Where property or parenting arrangements are disputed, we partner with you to achieve agreeable outcomes. Although our team aims to resolve issues through mutual agreement, we also ensure you're fully prepared for every step should further mediation or a final hearing be required. 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. For total transparency, we provide a comprehensive Costs Agreement at the beginning of your engagement, along with regular itemised invoices so you remain informed about legal fees and ongoing work. You even get direct access to your lawyer, without needing to communicate through an assistant or secretary when you have concerns regarding "Family Lawyers Clear Island Waters" or "Family Lawyers Ipswich". You can also access the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights.
