How Our Sydney Family Lawyers Provide What AI Cannot

AI platforms like ChatGPT may seem convenient, but they are not a safe substitute for professional family law advice from an actual lawyer.

These systems generate responses from patterns in text rather than analysing your circumstances, and they cannot apply the nuances of Australian legislation. As a result, the answers you receive are often inaccurate, overly general, or influenced by overseas material that has no place in a local court. Acting on this type of misinformation can put your case and your family’s future at risk.


The dangers of relying on AI in family law include:

  • Out-of-date details: AI tools are not equipped to reflect recent changes in laws or judgments.
  • Foreign influence: Many responses are drawn from international sources, not Australian family law.
  • Lack of context: No chatbot can understand the complexities of your family situation or your children’s needs.
  • No accountability: When advice is wrong, there is no responsibility, leaving you to deal with the consequences.


Kells’ Sydney family lawyers provide what technology cannot: legal advice grounded in current law, refined by years of practice, and informed by deep experience in local courts.


We listen, assess, and offer guidance that is accurate and relevant to your circumstances.


With us, you receive more than information. You gain a committed team focused on protecting your rights and achieving the best possible outcome.


Even better, our services remain cost-effective, giving you access to quality family law support without unnecessary financial strain.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can ChatGPT provide reliable advice about family law in Sydney?

    No. ChatGPT produces responses by predicting text patterns, not by applying Australian law. This means its answers can be inaccurate, incomplete, or influenced by overseas legal systems that don’t apply in Sydney.

  • What are the risks of using AI for family law issues?

    AI tools give broad, generic answers that ignore the specifics of your circumstances. Relying on this can result in serious errors, especially in sensitive areas such as parenting arrangements, custody disputes, or property division.

  • Why should I consult a family lawyer instead of ChatGPT?

    A family lawyer provides advice that is current, precise, and directly relevant to your situation. They can also represent you in negotiations or court proceedings — something no AI platform is capable of.

  • Is ChatGPT safe for general research about family law?

    It can provide a basic overview, but it should never be the foundation for decisions that affect your rights, your children, or your financial security. Any information gained should always be checked against advice from a qualified lawyer.

  • How do Kells’ family lawyers provide more value than AI?

    Our lawyers have invested years in legal study, extensive practice in family courts, and ongoing professional development to refine their expertise. Beyond technical knowledge, we bring empathy and understanding to support families through difficult times. This combination of skill and human connection delivers guidance that AI cannot match.

  • What if I have already relied on ChatGPT for advice?

    If you’ve used AI and are uncertain about the accuracy of the information, it’s important to speak with a family lawyer as soon as possible. We can clarify misconceptions, address risks, and help you move forward with the right legal strategy.
