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.

Separating or divorcing can bring a wave of uncertainty, particularly when children, property, finances or long-term plans are at stake. You want answers to help you take back control, yet the combination of legal and financial issues can be bewildering, particularly when your family's circumstances include shared assets, business interests or complex parenting duties. Not to mention, you may be concerned about choosing a firm that doesn't have the necessary experience for these cases or that delivers impersonal advice at the very moment you need thoughtful support. At Australian Family Lawyers, we specialise exclusively in family law, so you can be sure that we can understand your worries. Our team explains matters plainly and prioritises practical outcomes, easing the load with consistent, straightforward support. You can feel confident trusting our team because, following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now Australia's largest specialised family law firm and home to a team that includes Accredited Family Law Specialists. From all over the country, thousands of families contact us each year in such emotionally trying moments, assured that our award-nominated firm, equipped with a solutions-based approach, can give them what they need to make informed decisions. When you're researching "Family Lawyers Mernda" or "Divorce Attorneys In Melbourne", you can turn to our team for legal guidance.
Our lawyers approach each case with a settlement-first mindset because reasonable negotiation and family mediation can spare you, your former partner and your children the hassle of court proceedings. Actually, fewer than 5% of our matters ever make it to a final hearing, and most 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 seeking clear expectations from the start, we can prepare Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter into marriage or partnership with a common understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyers Mernda", "Divorce Lawyers Oak Park" or "Norfolk Family Lawyers".
Starting with us is straightforward, and you'll get a clearer picture of what happens next, thanks to our free, no-obligation phone appointment. Following that, we organise a strategy session to review your situation closely and map out a plan aligned to your best interests. We work closely with you to reach favourable outcomes for when either party can't agree on property or parenting. And as we handle negotiations for you, we pursue agreements through mutual consent. Our team provides continuous guidance should you require further mediation or if the matter escalates to a final hearing, ensuring you know what happens next. 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 "Divorce Nsw Cost" or "Family Lawyer Southport", you can access the Information Centre on our site for free family law articles and insights. Whether you've been exploring "family dispute resolution" or "child support lawyer", book a consultation now.

We are thrilled to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is the Platinum Sponsor of the highly anticipated short film, Millie! As proud sponsors, we’re not only supporting the film’s important message but also honoured to hold an Executive Producer credit. 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.
