Testimonials
We can’t speak highly enough of Anna Carr from Australian Family Lawyers Perth. She has not only been our personal lawyer for almost 3 years on the business side of things, but has been our rock and source of strength throughout with her unique style and performance. Not only our Rock! But lynchpin that held everything together and was also a caring and compassionate friend on a personal level. I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing a family lawyer and hope they have the sane level of experiences that we encountered. Big thanks again Anna Carr.
Lydia Ross
It was an absolute pleasure to have Anna and Hollie assist me with my Finance and Property settlement, I would highly recommend their service to everyone.
Anna clearly has the experience and knowledge to assist in every manner possible. Anna was able to answer all the question I had and helped fill out the Form 11 clearly and precisely.Anna was able to communicate with me in person, via emails and over the phone to help with questions. I wasn’t waiting days for a reply like I have had in the past with other companies.
Along with Annas help, Hollie was extremely helpful too, she was able to assist me with the lodging of my Form 11 and made sure that all supporting document were correct and in order.
Thank you to both for making this difficult situation an easy process.

FAQ's
At our law firm, we understand that every family law matter is unique, which can make it difficult to predict the exact cost of your case. Many factors, including the complexity of your situation and the other party’s willingness to negotiate, can influence the amount of work needed to resolve your matter and the overall cost. However, you can trust that our experienced team will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.
We’ll provide you with a Costs Agreement that outlines estimated costs for each stage of your case, and we’ll keep you informed of any updates so that you always know where you stand financially. We’re here to support you throughout the process and help you navigate this complex time.
To obtain a fee estimate for your matter, please contact our office. We’ll give you a no-cost, no-obligation phone call to get an understanding of your situation and what services you require. After the free phone call, we’ll invite you to a strategy session where we’ll obtain a deeper understanding of your circumstances and legal needs.
Additionally, we’ll explain how and why your legal fees may change over the duration of your family law matter. We’ll communicate your options to you throughout while ensuring that no corners are cut and that any settlement is in your best interests.
In all other Australian jurisdictions, parties can commence proceedings in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). However, most married parties and all de facto parties living in Western Australia proceed through the Family Court of Western Australia.
The Family Court of Western Australia is separately established and governed by the Family Court Act 1997 (WA). This statute adopts the same time limits that apply to married parties in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, but also introduces additional limits for parties to consider.
