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. Parenting arrangements, shared assets, blended families, business interests or established wealth may present more challenges, and you may worry if a general law firm lacks the experience your situation requires. That's why working with lawyers who focus solely on family law is so important. At Australian Family Lawyers, we assist with a wide variety of family law matters, including higher-asset and more complex disputes. We understand that you may feel concerned about confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon. Our team keeps our language straightforward and stays approachable to give you a clearer picture of your position and options. 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 "Famous Divorce Lawyers" or "Child Support Lawyers Melbourne", you can turn to us.
Australian Family Lawyers focuses on settlement first, prioritising negotiation and family mediation to resolve property and parenting matters and avoid the added strain of court proceedings. Our team helps you navigate the process by providing legal guidance for family mediation, thereby helping you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset, and we can also connect you with highly experienced Mediators. Because we prioritise early resolution, fewer than 5% of our matters go to a final hearing. In addition, our property settlement lawyers provide clear guidance on key legal considerations when identifying shared assets and debts, all while working towards a fair outcome. We also offer legal support for more complex situations, such as high-asset matters involving family trusts or businesses, as well as advice on spousal maintenance. When children are involved, our child custody lawyers provide empathetic guidance about custody arrangements and child support. Whether you're browsing for "Famous Divorce Lawyers", "Best Divorce Lawyer Launceston" or "Divorce And Separation Lawyers Melbourne", you can trust that we provide compassionate, competent representation that respects your lived experience, helping you understand your options while prioritising your child's or children's best interests. The same approach extends to the specific hurdles that LGBTQ+ families go through, so you can turn to us no matter how your family is structured.
Whether you're in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, the ACT, Western Australia or the Northern Territory, we're ready to support you as family law advocates. While we are a trusted national name, we still maintain a local presence, and our family law offices across these regions mean you'll always work with someone who knows the practical details affecting your situation. We begin with a free, no-obligation phone consultation upon first engagement, where you can ask questions and gain clear information about your matter without delay. Afterwards, we'll review your position and plan the next course of action as part of a strategy session we'll organise. As part of our emphasis on settlement through negotiation or mediation, we work with you to reach a fair resolution when disputes arise over property or parenting arrangements. We assure you that you have direct contact with your lawyer the whole time, ensuring that updates won't get muddled during the process and that you receive prompt answers to your enquiries. Our Information Centre even has free articles and insights on family law, which might be helpful if you're researching "Melbourne Divorce Lawyers" or "Online Divorce Application". No matter if you've been browsing for "divorce solicitors" or "family law lawyers", book a consultation now.
