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 it comes to separation or divorce, you're managing both the emotional impact of a significant change and the need to understand your legal and financial position moving forward. When matters involve shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth, the complexity can make you doubt a general firm's 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. For that reason, Australian Family Lawyers is committed to supporting people through separation, divorce and family law matters with clear guidance and a steady hand across the process. Our team knows the legal and personal challenges involved, and by clarifying your position, setting out your options and prioritising 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 Legal Services" or "Family Law Legal Advice" 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.
At Australian Family Lawyers, our focus is settlement first, prioritising negotiations and family mediation to settle disputes rather than adding more frustration by taking them to court. With under 5% of cases reaching a final hearing, this approach allows you, your former partner and your children to avoid needless conflict. Our team supports you through mediation by clearly explaining your rights and responsibilities, and we can connect you with experienced legal guidance for family mediation. When it comes to property matters, we have property settlement lawyers who can assist in identifying and dividing assets and debts. Specialised advice can even be offered to affluent individuals with complex assets, such as trusts and business interests. In matters involving children, our team has child custody lawyers ready to provide steady and empathetic guidance on custody and parenting arrangements, always focusing on the best interests of your child. We can also advise on child support matters, including trickier situations that involve private agreements or disputes. Whether you're in the early stages of separation or searching for "Family Legal Services", "Family Law Settlement" or "Family Separation Lawyer" to explore your options, legal support from Australian Family Lawyers can make it easier to protect your property and parental rights.
You deserve clarity about what lies ahead when it comes to legal costs. We begin each engagement with a thorough Costs Agreement outlining the scope of our work, our billing structure and an estimate tailored to your specific circumstances. If your circumstances change, we'll let you know without delay and explain any updates to your fee estimate, keeping you informed every step of the way. Our cost-effective operation model aims to deliver stronger value and genuine service from the initial consultation through to final settlement. We understand that you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition, so our lawyers are committed to working with you to explore available options at the beginning of your engagement. You can contact our family law offices for enquiries or reach out to your lawyer directly without needing to relay messages to an assistant or secretary. This way, communication doesn't get mixed up when you need updates or have concerns about "apply for divorce" or "family lawyer price". Plus, our online Information Centre is always accessible when you need more resources, which is convenient when you're seeking more information about "Family Lawyer Southport" or "Lawyer For Separation". Arrange a consultation today to clarify your next course of action.

We are thrilled to announce that Australian Family Lawyers is the Platinum Sponsor of the highly anticipated short film, Millie!

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!
