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 you're facing separation or divorce alongside decisions about children, property, finances or long-term plans, the uncertainty can be difficult to manage. You may feel unsure about what comes next legally and financially while also trying to process major personal and emotional change. Parenting commitments, shared assets, business concerns or the extra complexity from blended families can add to the difficulty. In addition, you may worry that general practice firms won't have the level of experience required for your matter. We focus exclusively on family law at Australian Family Lawyers, so we understand the legal, practical and emotional hurdles you're up against. After merging with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. With experience spanning both simple matters and complex high-asset cases, we support thousands of families who turn to us for help each year. The Australian Law Awards have also recognised us as a Law Firm of the Year finalist in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025. We're a trusted partner ready to provide solutions-focused legal advice, even when you're looking into "Family Lawyers St Leonards".
Whether you're still in the process of separating or have decided to divorce, having an experienced lawyer can simplify safeguarding your parental rights and property interests. We begin with a settlement-first approach that emphasises steady negotiation and clarity every step of the way. By partnering closely with you, our team seeks resolutions for parenting and property disputes instead of immediately taking the matter to court. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we explain your rights, responsibilities and possible outcomes at every stage, and we can also connect you with highly experienced Mediators. As our family law experts aim for workable resolutions as much as possible, under 5% of cases proceed to a final hearing. Our property settlement lawyers assist with important financial considerations during separation and divorce, including identifying which assets and liabilities form part of a settlement, advising on spousal maintenance and supporting high-net-worth individuals managing family trusts, business interests and other complex assets. We also help parents navigate child support obligations and parenting arrangements, with guidance from our child custody lawyers who understand the issues that can come with a split. Our team can help you move forward with greater certainty, whether you're interested in "Family Lawyers Westmead" or "Family Lawyer Earlwood".
A free phone consultation is available with no obligation to commit, giving you the opportunity to better understand the family law process with guidance from our team. If you're prepared to move forward, we can schedule a strategy session to outline the most likely next steps. Where disputes involve property arrangements or parenting issues, we'll work alongside you to identify practical solutions before taking the matter to court where necessary. While we aim to reach a mutually agreed resolution whenever possible, we continue to guide and support you through each stage of the mediation or hearing process if an agreement cannot be reached. Our national presence across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory means you benefit from both local insight and national resources, including access to family law offices. Our comprehensive Costs Agreement also details all legal costs in advance, including the specific work to be undertaken, the way billing is structured and an estimate of expenses tailored to your specific circumstances. We'll even send you regular itemised invoices during the process that list the tasks performed, time spent and the professional involved. If you've been curious about "Family Lawyer Melbourne" or "Family Property Dispute Lawyer", you can also access our Information Centre for articles and insights. Whether you're searching for "family lawyer parramatta" or "family law lawyers", book a consultation now.
