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 dealing with separation or divorce, you're handling both the emotional strain of significant change and the practical task of assessing your legal and financial position from here. Matters involving shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can be complex, leading you to question whether a general firm has the required 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. This is why, at Australian Family Lawyers, we help you navigate separation, divorce and other family law matters, giving clear and steady guidance throughout the process. 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 Mackay" or "Family Lawyers Logan" 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.
In our settlement-first approach, we seek constructive solutions first, prioritising negotiation and mediation. When you have us on your side, you gain the benefit of knowledgeable lawyers who can help 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. Should spousal maintenance or support be relevant, you'll have straightforward guidance on possible obligations 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 Mackay" 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 Menai" or "Family Lawyers Maitland".
When you contact us for a no-obligation, free phone consultation, we'll walk you through the family law process. From there, we'll organise a strategy session, which allows for an in-depth analysis of your situation and the development of a plan for your next steps. We collaborate with you to find practical solutions if disputes come up about parenting or property arrangements. If an agreement still can't be reached, we continue guiding you through the process, including mediation or a hearing before a judge if required. We also supply a comprehensive Costs Agreement for complete transparency, describing the scope of work, our billing structure and a personalised estimate for your circumstances. You'll receive regular itemised invoices that clearly outline completed work, time spent and the professional who carried out each task. Our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory help us remain accessible to families throughout Australia. Plus, direct communication with your lawyer always keeps you informed and keeps you in charge of your legal decisions. If you've been exploring "Family Lawyers Burnie" or "Family Lawyers Brisbane", our online Information Centre provides free family law articles and insights. Whether you're browsing for "separation certificate qld" or "apply for divorce", book a consultation with us today.
