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. Matters involving shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can be complex, leading you to question whether a general firm has the required experience. Often, when you seek legal advice, you may feel unsure who to trust or worried about unclear guidance, impersonal services or needless 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 Protection Lawyer" or "Family Solicitor" 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.
We have a settlement-first approach that guides the way we manage property, parenting and financial matters when you're ready to address these concerns. As knowledgeable family lawyers, we support you through negotiation and provide legal guidance for family mediation, helping you advance your interests without immediately escalating to court. Because we focus on achieving resolution before things escalate, less than 5% of our matters proceed to a final court hearing. Our property settlement lawyers provide precise advice when it comes to asset settlement, and we can also help you navigate the complexities of spousal maintenance. Meanwhile, our child custody lawyers advocate for you and your child, providing empathetic support during what we know is a taxing and intricate process. While child support cases are usually handled by Services Australia, you can get key legal advice for more complex scenarios, including private payment agreements and formal disputes, from our lawyers. Whether you're looking up "Family Protection Lawyer" or something else, you can count on our team to deliver practical legal solutions tailored to your circumstances, including high-net-worth matters and specific hurdles LGBTQ+ families may face. If you want more information on "Family Lawyers Yarraville" or "Family Services Lawyer", our process stays steady and clear, so you stay protected and informed throughout.
To get started, arrange a complimentary, no-obligation call so our team can explain the family law process and your initial options. Next, we'll arrange a session to discuss your situation and formulate a strategy for the rest of the process. When disputes arise around property or parenting arrangements, our team will guide you through assisted negotiation and dispute resolution with the goal of agreeing through mediation where possible. Ideally, you and your lawyer will finalise matters by mutual consent, but if necessary, your lawyer will guide you through mediation or court proceedings. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Plus, we understand that you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition. Our lawyers are here to help you explore your available options at the outset of your engagement. Throughout, you'll have direct lines to your lawyer for answers to your questions and ongoing updates. You may also learn more about topics like "family law solicitor dandenong" or "australian prenup" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights. If you've been browsing for "Female Divorce Lawyers" or "Good Family Law Lawyers", contact us today to get started.
