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.

If separation or divorce raises questions about any children, property or long-term plans involved, it's reasonable to feel unsure what comes next legally and financially. Shared assets, parenting obligations, blended family issues, business interests or existing wealth can make things more complex, and you may be uncertain if a general law firm doesn't have the experience you're after. This is why working with lawyers solely dedicated to family law matters so much. At Australian Family Lawyers, we deal with a broad range of family law issues, including those that are more complex or involve bigger assets. We understand you may be uneasy about confusing guidance, impersonal interactions or unnecessary legal jargon. We speak plainly, remain approachable, and help you understand your position as well as what the next steps might be with more clarity. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we became the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our approach remains grounded in solutions-based practice and an empathetic understanding of the challenges families face, which is why thousands trust us each year; if you're looking up "Family Lawyers Seven Hills" or "Family Lawyer Inner West", you can turn to us.
Having a knowledgeable lawyer by your side can make it easier to advocate for your property and parental interests. We favour a settlement-first approach among the various strategies available to protect you, prioritising negotiation and mediation. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you navigate your rights and responsibilities before progressing matters to court wherever possible. As a result, less than 5% of our cases reach a final hearing. Working with our property settlement lawyers, you'll receive straightforward advice about which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement so you can make informed decisions. If you're dealing with a divorce or separation that involves family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets, we offer specialised legal support tailored to your circumstances. Parenting disputes can also be one of the more difficult parts following a split. Our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while helping you understand your rights and obligations throughout the custody process. If you're looking up "Family Lawyers Seven Hills", "Best Family Lawyer Capalaba" or "Family Law Lawyers Grafton", you can turn to us for legal advice, whether you're still in the phase of separating from your partner or already pushing through with a divorce.
When you reach out to our family law offices for a free, no-obligation phone consultation, we start with clear information so you always know what to expect. For total clarity and transparency, our comprehensive Costs Agreement details the scope of work, outlines our billing approach and presents a customised estimate for your project. Throughout your matter, you'll receive regular, itemised invoices outlining the work completed, the lawyer responsible and the time spent. And if your circumstances change, we'll update you promptly about any adjustments to your estimate, so you stay in control. Our cost-efficient model is designed to deliver enhanced service and value at every stage, from the first consultation through settlement. During times of transition, immediate access to funds may not always be available, and we understand that. From the outset of your engagement, our lawyers will collaborate with you to explore the options that may be available. And with direct access to your lawyer, you're always informed, empowering you to make decisions or gain answers for concerns related to "family law solicitor dandenong" or "family dispute resolution". You can also browse our Information Centre for articles and resources if you're curious about "Lawyers Custody Near Me" or "Child Support Lawyers Melbourne", so book a consultation now.
