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.
Separation or divorce can feel unclear, especially when decisions about finances, future plans, property, or children need to be made. Alongside the emotional weight of these major changes, you're also working to understand what the future may look like financially and legally. And when shared assets, parenting duties, blended families, business interests or established wealth are involved, family law matters can become more complex, and you may wonder if a general law firm has enough experience for what you need. Many people also fear they'll be given unclear advice, impersonal treatment or unnecessary legal language. That's why, at Australian Family Lawyers, we focus solely on family law. We understand the legal, emotional and practical issues that often come with these disputes, and we strive to make your situation less burdensome by speaking plainly, staying approachable and focusing on workable outcomes. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we also became the nation's largest specialised family law firm. Our team includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists, and thousands of families trust us each year, so whether you're searching for "Ipswich Family Lawyers" or "Melbourne Divorce Lawyers", you can turn to us.
It's easier to advocate for your parental interests and property rights with a knowledgeable lawyer at your side. Plenty of strategies are available to protect you, but we prioritise a settlement-first approach that focuses on 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. This approach has resulted in under 5% of our cases reaching 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 navigating a separation or divorce involving family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets, we provide 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 "Ipswich Family Lawyers", "Leading Family Lawyers Sydney" or "Mornington Family Lawyers", 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.
To begin, set up a free, no-obligation phone consultation so our team can help you clarify the family law process and your initial options. Next, we'll organise a session to talk about your circumstances and develop a strategy for what follows. If disputes arise around property or parenting arrangements, our team will work closely with you through assisted negotiation and dispute resolution, aiming to reach an agreement through mediation wherever possible. In ideal cases, you and your lawyer will resolve matters by mutual consent, but your lawyer will guide you through mediation or court proceedings if necessary. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Furthermore, we understand that you may not always have immediate access to funds, especially during times of transition. Our lawyers are committed to working with you to explore available options at the start of your engagement. At every stage, you'll be able to directly contact your lawyer, who'll answer questions and provide timely updates. You may also learn more about topics like "child custody lawyer" or "central coast family lawyer" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights.
