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 separation or divorce, you're balancing both the emotional impact of a major life change and understanding your legal and financial position moving forward. When matters involve shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth, the complexity can make you doubt a general firm's experience. It's common, when getting legal advice, to feel unsure who to trust or to be concerned about unclear information, impersonal services or needless legalese. For this reason, at Australian Family Lawyers, we're here to make separation, divorce and family law matters easier to understand, with calm and reliable guidance from beginning to end. Our team understands the legal and personal challenges you're facing, and by explaining your position, outlining your options and focusing on realistic outcomes, we help you move forward with clarity. 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 Gippsland" or "Family Lawyers Epping" 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 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. In fact, most of our matters are resolved via settlement, and less than 5% of our cases proceed to a final hearing. 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. When couples prefer clarity from the outset, we can prepare Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter marriage or partnership with agreed expectations. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyers Gippsland", "Family Lawyers Gladstone" or "Family Lawyers Gisborne".
Engagement starts with a free, no-obligation phone consultation, giving you a chance to speak with our team and clarify the family law process. We'll then arrange a strategy session to review your situation and provide an outline of the next steps. Where property or parenting arrangements become a point of disagreement, we'll work closely with you towards a practical and favourable resolution. Our team will act on your behalf in negotiations, seeking to settle issues through mediation or agreement where we can. Should no resolution be reached, mediation or a court hearing may follow, and we continue to provide guidance and support at each stage. With family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, you benefit from both national expertise and local understanding. Throughout the process, you have direct access to your lawyer to ensure clear and consistent communication, especially when you have enquiries about "Adelaide Family Lawyers" or "Divorce Lawyers Melbourne". You also gain access to helpful resources through the Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights that may answer general questions about "family law lawyer fees" or "custody lawyer". So, reach out to us today to schedule your consultation.

We are thrilled to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is the Platinum Sponsor of the highly anticipated short film, Millie!

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.
We are excited to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is an official partner of Pride in Law!
