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.
When it comes to separation or divorce, you're managing both the emotional impact of a significant change and the need to understand your legal and financial position moving forward. Complex issues such as shared assets, parenting arrangements, blended families, business interests or established wealth can lead you to question a general firm's level of experience. It's common, when getting legal advice, to feel unsure who to trust or to be concerned about unclear information, impersonal services or needless legalese. This is why, at Australian Family Lawyers, we help people navigate separation, divorce and family law matters, offering clear and steady guidance at each stage of the process. Our team understands the legal and personal challenges you're facing, and by explaining your position, outlining your options and focusing on realistic outcomes, we help you move forward with clarity. Following a merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we have become the largest specialised family law firm in Australia, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. You can ask us about "Sole Application For Divorce" or "Online Divorce" and rest assured that you're supported by lawyers with extensive experience across a wide range of matters, including more complex and higher-asset cases.
At Australian Family Lawyers, our focus is settlement first, prioritising negotiations and family mediation to settle disputes rather than adding more frustration by taking them to court. With under 5% of cases reaching a final hearing, this approach allows you, your former partner and your children to avoid excessive conflict. Our team supports you through mediation by clearly explaining your rights and responsibilities, and we can connect you with experienced legal guidance for family mediation. When it comes to property matters, we have property settlement lawyers who can assist in identifying and dividing assets and debts. They can even advise high-net-worth individuals on complex arrangements, including trusts and business interests. In matters involving children, our team has child custody lawyers ready to provide steady and empathetic guidance on custody and parenting arrangements, always focusing on the best interests of your child. Our legal services also extend to child support matters, including cases that may be subject to private agreements and disputes. Whether you're in the early stages of separation or searching for "Sole Application For Divorce", "Family Mediation Centre" or "Family Lawyer Westmead" to explore your options, legal support from Australian Family Lawyers can make it easier to protect your property and parental rights.
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 schedule a meeting to go over your situation and agree on a strategy for the remaining process. Should disputes over property or parenting arrangements arise, our team will support you with assisted negotiation and dispute resolution and aim to resolve matters by mediation where feasible. The best outcome is settling matters by mutual consent, but if that's not possible, your lawyer can assist you in mediation or in court. We have family law offices across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Additionally, 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 the options available at the start of your engagement. During the process, you'll have direct access to your lawyer to answer your questions and keep you updated. You may also learn more about topics like "mediation melbourne" or "family law melbourne" through our online Information Centre, which has free family law articles and insights.
