Ramsden Family Law

Ramsden Family Law is a specialist family law firm with offices in Sydney, New South Wales and on the Gold Coast, Queensland. The firm branched off from Ramsden Lawyers, established in 2003, to provide a dedicated family law practice. Our team includes multiple NSW and QLD Law Society Accredited Specialists in Family Law, providing expert legal advice and representation to clients across both states. We recognise that family law matters are deeply personal and often emotionally challenging, and our experienced, approachable family lawyers guide clients through every stage.

Our Gold Coast family law practice has been consistently recognised by Doyle’s Guide since 2017, including multiple Third Tier rankings and, most recently, recognition as a Recommended Family & Divorce Law Firm in the 2026 Gold Coast rankings. This longstanding recognition reflects our established reputation and commitment to excellence in family law.

Our Sydney and Gold Coast family lawyers practise across all areas of family law, including separation and divorce, parenting arrangements, property settlements, domestic and family violence, de facto and same-sex relationships, binding financial agreements and prenuptial agreements, spousal maintenance, child support, mediation and dispute resolution, surrogacy and adoption, and international family law.

We regularly act in complex property settlements, high-value financial disputes and contested parenting matters, including cases involving substantial asset pools, business interests, corporate and trust structures, inherited wealth, relocation disputes and family violence. Where needed, we work closely with experienced barristers, mediators and independent experts to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Building relationships founded on trust, understanding and open communication is central to how we practise family law. We take the time to understand each client’s circumstances and match them with a family lawyer suited to their needs. Our approach combines technical expertise and strategic advice with genuine compassion, so clients feel supported, informed and confident throughout the legal process.

With over 20 years of experience in family law, we know no two matters are the same. We develop tailored strategies that prioritise practical, commercially sensible resolutions, while providing strong representation in contested proceedings in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia where necessary.

In parenting and children’s matters, the safety, welfare and best interests of children are our foremost priority. Whether the matter involves complex parenting arrangements, family violence concerns, relocation disputes or international child abduction under the Hague Convention, we provide considered, practical guidance with sensitivity to each family’s circumstances.

Ramsden Family Law is led from Sydney by Partner and Director Reece Ramsden, an Accredited Specialist in Family Law, supported by an experienced team of senior family lawyers and specialist practitioners in Sydney and on the Gold Coast.

We offer a free, confidential 30-minute initial family law consultation by telephone, Microsoft Teams or in person at our Sydney or Gold Coast office. It’s an opportunity to discuss your circumstances, understand your legal options and take the first steps towards resolution.
