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 disrupt nearly all aspects of everyday life, particularly when parenting, joint properties, financial obligations or long-term plans are affected. You may also feel unsure how family law applies to your situation or whether a general law firm has the specialist experience you need when business interests, blended families or established wealth further complicate matters. We focus solely on family law at Australian Family Lawyers. This enables our team to develop extensive insight into the legal, practical and personal challenges commonly associated with separation and related disputes. We acknowledge that many people prefer clear guidance instead of sorting through conflicting advice, detached service or complicated legal language, which is why we emphasise speaking plainly and being approachable from the start. 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 that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Our lawyers manage a wide variety of family law matters, including higher-asset cases that call for thorough attention. Whether you've been searching for "Northcote Family Lawyers" or "Prenup Lawyers", our team helps you move forward with clear and steady guidance.
Conversations about parenting and child custody can get especially hard when former partners clash over key decisions for their children. We place your family's wellbeing at the centre of a settlement-first approach focused on negotiating. By focusing on early resolution for family matters, fewer than 5% of our cases go to a final hearing. Through legal guidance for family mediation, we help you become more informed about your rights, responsibilities and options before discussions begin. We also support outcomes that balance the best interests of you and your child while guiding you through the legal realities of parenting arrangements. Our child custody lawyers can even assist with more complex child support matters, including private payment agreements, formal disputes and significant changes in circumstances. If your separation involves high-value assets, family trusts or businesses, our property settlement lawyers can help you identify what forms part of a settlement while helping you better understand your legal obligations and rights. Other than that, we're familiar with how the family law system can present specific challenges for LGBTQ+ families, and we're dedicated to providing compassionate representation mindful of your lived experience. Whether you're searching for "Northcote Family Lawyers", "Property Division Lawyer" or "Newcastle Family Lawyers", know that we can help with steady legal guidance.
We start with a free, no-obligation phone appointment to make things easier to follow and give you a clear picture of the next steps. Next, we arrange a strategy session to go over your situation in detail and outline a plan tailored to your needs. We closely work with you when conflicts arise around property or parenting arrangements, advocating for favourable outcomes. Plus, we negotiate on your behalf, working towards agreements achieved through mutual consent. We'll guide you through each step of the process should mediation or a final hearing be required, so you know what to expect. Through our family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we offer legal services rooted in local understanding that allows us to better serve you. For full transparency, we also provide a detailed Costs Agreement at the outset of our agreement, and we also send updates and regular itemised invoices on legal fees and work completed.
