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 facing separation or divorce, you're coping with the emotional effects of a major change while also needing to clarify your legal and financial situation moving forward. Complex issues such as shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can lead you to question a general firm's level of experience. Oftentimes, you might feel uncertain about who to trust when looking for legal advice, or you may be concerned about vague advice, impersonal service or excessive 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 involved, and by explaining your position, outlining your options and focusing on practical 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 Mount Isa" or "Family Lawyers Narellan" 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.
Understanding that reasonable negotiation and family mediation can help you, your former partner and your children avoid the disruption of court proceedings, our lawyers take a settlement-first approach in every case. 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 those looking to create clear expectations early on, our team can draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to encourage a mutual understanding before marriage or partnership begins. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Family Lawyers Mount Isa", "Family Lawyers Mount Eliza" or "Family Lawyers Mosman".
We recognise that you want a structured, clear path ahead, so we've designed each stage to be as simple as possible. Arrange a free phone appointment to talk with our team directly and gain better insight into the proceedings. Your specific circumstances will be reviewed in a strategy session after the consultation, where we'll map out a plan aligned with your needs. When disagreements about property or parenting arrangements come up, we collaborate with you closely to pursue a favourable resolution. Then, our lawyers will handle the negotiation, working to reach a mutual agreement. If this approach does not lead to an agreement, our team is ready to guide you through mediation or a hearing. With family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we bring you access to local expertise across Australia. We're transparent about fees, providing a clear Costs Agreement and regular itemised invoices, so you know where you stand. The same clarity applies when you ask us for guidance on topics like "Family Law Lawyer Cost" or "Family Lawyers Toowoomba". Whether you want to learn more about "child custody lawyer" and "family law solicitor dandenong" or are ready to take action, contact us today.

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.
We are excited to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is an official partner of Pride in Law! As advocates for diversity and inclusion, we are honoured to support Pride in Law’s mission to promote and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community within the legal profession. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
