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.
In cases of divorce or separation involving children, property or long-term plans, you may feel uncertain about the legal and financial steps you may have to take. Shared assets, parenting duties, business ties, blended family dynamics or established wealth can further complicate matters, making you worry about whether or not a general law firm has the experience you're seeking. That's why it's very important to work with lawyers who specialise exclusively in family law. At Australian Family Lawyers, we deal with a broad range of family law issues, including those that are more complex or involve bigger assets. We understand that you may feel concerned about confusing advice, impersonal service or unnecessary legal jargon. Our team speaks plainly, stays approachable, and helps you gain a clearer view of your position and possible next steps. 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 "Queanbeyan Family Lawyers Canberra" or "Divorce Lawyers Melbourne", you can turn to us.
We adopt a settlement-first strategy for people navigating separation or divorce. Through our legal guidance for family mediation, we help you protect your rights while working towards resolutions before matters are escalated to court. Our team can also introduce you to highly experienced Mediators. Due to our focus on negotiation and family mediation, fewer than 5% of our cases proceed to a final hearing. If you're working through which assets and liabilities form part of your settlement, our property settlement lawyers guide you through the legal and financial considerations involved. In addition, people going through high-asset separation or divorce involving family trusts, family-owned businesses or other complex assets can access our specialised legal support. If spousal maintenance becomes relevant to your situation, our lawyers can advise you on financial obligations following separation. When parenting disputes arise, our child custody lawyers advocate for the best interests of both you and your child while guiding you through custody arrangements. We're also committed to providing compassionate and competent representation for families of every structure, including LGBTQ+ families. In addition to end-of-relationship support, we even prepare and draft Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) to suit your needs. If you're looking up "Queanbeyan Family Lawyers Canberra", "Divorce Lawyers Hervey Bay" or "Divorce Lawyers Melbourne Australia", you can turn to us.
We know you want a clear, structured path ahead, so we've made every stage as straightforward as possible. Gain a better understanding of the proceedings by booking a free phone appointment and speaking directly with our team. Your specific circumstances will be reviewed in a strategy session after the consultation, where we'll map out a plan aligned with your needs. If disagreements around property or parenting arrangements arise, we work closely with you to pursue an ideal outcome. Our lawyers then handle negotiation, aiming for mutual agreement. Should efforts to reach an agreement this way prove unsuccessful, we're ready to assist you through mediation or a hearing. With family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we bring you access to local expertise across Australia. We explain fees transparently, issuing a clear Costs Agreement and regular itemised invoices, so you can see where you stand. The same clarity applies when you ask us for guidance on topics like "Divorce Cost Nsw" or "Legal Assistance For Divorce". Whether you want to learn more about "custody lawyer" and "family law solicitors gold coast" or are ready to take action, contact us today.
