Through our secure online service model, we make it easy to access experienced family law advice from anywhere in Adelaide, regional South Australia or interstate.
Our approach combines technical legal expertise with genuine care, ensuring you receive personalised support and strong legal representation throughout every stage of your matter.
Experienced Adelaide Family Lawyers Providing Practical Solutions
Our team has extensive experience assisting clients across Adelaide and South Australia in a broad range of family law matters. We regularly represent clients in proceedings before the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and understand both the legal framework and practical considerations involved in achieving successful outcomes.
We recognise that no two families are the same. Some clients seek assistance to negotiate amicable agreements through mediation and dispute resolution, while others require strong representation in complex or highly contested matters. Whatever your circumstances, our Adelaide family lawyers provide strategic advice tailored to your individual goals and priorities.
Recent outcomes achieved for South Australian clients include:
- Obtaining orders for a parent to have sole parental responsibility and care of their child due to family violence concerns.
- Securing parenting orders through mediation where a child had significant health needs.
- Obtaining an interim order from the Court for the sale of a former matrimonial home when the mortgage was in arrears and affecting the credit rating of one party.
While every family law matter is unique, our focus remains on achieving outcomes that are practical, fair and support long-term stability for you and your family.

Happy clients
Thank you so much Andrew and Esther for your support and work at mediation the other day, and all the other work around it. I’m really happy with what was achieved and I think you did really well to get that last bit sorted out the way you did. I am so excited that this is all nearly over.
HR
I wanted to thank you Joanne for all your work and effort on behalf of my family and I. Everyone at New Way Lawyers has been very helpful and made an unfamiliar process relatively easy for me. Thanks so much for everything. All the best.
BA
Thank you all so much for your continued guidance and support. We couldn’t recommend your firm or yourselves as people enough.
MT
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was really starting to panic in thinking that I’d have to represent myself!!! I appreciate your support & understanding immensely. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you all on my ’team’ over the last almost two years!!
KL
I want to thank you for the way you have managed things for me. I came to you distressed and I found the right person to manage my case. I needed an educated and savvy lawyer with a calm disposition and that is what I got. Your ability to keep me calm but to still be able to strongly advocate for me has been exceptional. We have been largely successful in protecting the children and keeping them out of ‘grown up business’ and that is a huge relief. I think it was the last letter you wrote that shifted the dynamics. Thank you for being a kind and moral man who can assert the law so very well! I truly believe that you and the company you work for, are making a difference. I have had nothing but positive experiences, from my initial phone call, admin staff, students and you! I am regularly working with women in very difficult circumstances and I will not hesitate to refer to New Way Lawyers for legal advice and representation.

Most court appearances in the Adelaide and regional registries of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia occur by phone or web link, which fits well with our online service provision model. If you need to attend court in person for a trial or hearing, we will guide you through the process and ensure you feel supported and prepared at every step.
