Australian Family Lawyers

Australian Family Lawyers helps people through separation, divorce, parenting arrangements and property division. Family law is the only work the firm does. Its Varsity Lakes office serves the Gold Coast and is part of a national firm.

The firm acts on divorce, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance, property settlement and asset protection. It also helps with family mediation, binding financial agreements and postnuptial agreements. LGBTQ+ families and clients with high-value assets can also get advice.

Clients can book a free consultation, and the firm offers fixed fees. It says clients get plain-English advice and regular updates, and more than 95% of its matters settle before a final hearing.

The Gold Coast team works from the ground floor at 165 Varsity Parade, Varsity Lakes. The firm is national, with offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, and it offers video calls.

The firm works only in family law. Its Gold Coast team is led by Damira Hidic, who is named a Recommended Family Lawyer for the Gold Coast in Doyle's Guide 2026. The firm says it has six accredited family law specialists across the group.
