Our Simple Process

Learn more about Local Family Law Lawyers

When children, properties, finances and long-term plans are involved in divorce and separation matters, it can be especially overwhelming to handle all at once. Blended families, parenting arrangements, business interests or shared assets can further complicate the process of determining whether or not your chosen firm has the appropriate level of experience. You might also be unsure who to trust or fear you'll face unclear guidance, impersonal support or complicated legal jargon. We support you through separation, divorce and family law matters at Australian Family Lawyers, providing clear guidance throughout. Our sole focus is family law, so we understand both the practical and emotional challenges involved, including more complex and higher-asset cases. We provide you with clarity on your position and options so you can move forward with confidence. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we're now the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team, including a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Each year, thousands of families turn to us for support, and so can you if you've been searching for "Local Family Law Lawyers". In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025, we were even shortlisted as a finalist for Law Firm of the Year at the Australian Law Awards.

Rather than taking matters to court, we aim to settle disputes through negotiation and family mediation, as we follow a settlement-first approach. As a consequence, fewer than 5% of our cases proceed to a final hearing. We can connect you with experienced Mediators who can provide legal guidance for family mediation and help you understand your rights and responsibilities from the outset. Alongside resolving disputes, we give straightforward legal advice on the important legal matters that arise in separation and divorce. This includes support from property settlement lawyers, who can help identify and divide assets and debts. We also provide support for high-net-worth individuals facing complex structures, including trusts or family businesses. We provide advice on topics like spousal maintenance and support in drafting Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to clarify financial arrangements. For families, we have child custody lawyers on our team who can offer guidance on child custody and support, focusing on the child's best interests while helping you understand your obligations. Plus, our advice covers diverse family structures, including LGBTQ+ families, and is respectful, practical and personalised to your situation. Whether you've been interested in "Family Lawyers Waterloo" or "I Need A Family Lawyer Now", you can turn to us.

To get started with Australian Family Lawyers, schedule a free, no-obligation phone consultation where you can discuss your situation and be informed about the family law process. From there, we hold a focused strategy session to evaluate your circumstances and identify the next steps. Where there are disputes over property or parenting arrangements, we'll guide you through mediation or assisted negotiation in order to achieve a fair result without escalating matters. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll guide you through the next steps in mediation or court proceedings. With experience across multiple Australian jurisdictions and with family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, our firm combines national expertise with local understanding. As part of our commitment to transparency, we provide an upfront Costs Agreement, regular itemised invoices and updates as conditions change, so you can rest easy if you've been looking up "Top Family Lawyers Sydney" or "Cost Of A Divorce Lawyer". You'll also maintain direct access to your lawyer through the process, with consistent updates and additional resources in our Information Centre. If you've been curious about "divorce lawyers mosman" or "family mediation lawyer", book a consultation with us today.
