Brisbane, Gold Coast & Sydney
Since 2003, Ramsden Lawyers has established itself as the premier family law firm in the Gold Coast & Brisbane and has one of the largest teams of Family Lawyers practicing exclusively in Family Law. Ramsden Lawyers also have a family law division in Sydney with a full time staffed office in the Sydney CBD. We are conscious that each client has individual needs and that proceeding with a separation or domestic violence matter is often highly emotional.
A great deal of trust is required between Gold Coast Family Lawyers, Brisbane Family Lawyers and their clients. As a result of the size of our Family Law teams in Gold Coast & Brisbane, and the diversity in expertise and specialisations of each of our legal practitioners, we have the luxury of ‘marrying’ a lawyer to each individual so that each client feels comfortable with and supported by their legal practitioner.
Our Gold Coast Family Lawyers and Brisbane Family Lawyers focus solely on Family Law matters every day. We are experts in the field and our teams include Queensland Law Society Accredited Family Law Specialists and New South Wales Law Society Accredited Family Law Specialist, which ensures that we deliver an exceptionally high standard of work. Specialising in Family Law means that we can advise on even the most complex Gold Coast Family Law and Brisbane Family Law related matters, and can provide advice in regards to one, or a combination of the following:
Ramsden Lawyers is also on the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 list of leading Gold Coast & Brisbane Family & Divorce Law Firms practicing within the areas of family law, spousal maintenance, matrimonial, parenting and property matters.
Family Law matters typically require a high level of integration with other areas of law. Ramsden Lawyers’ Gold Coast Family Lawyers and Brisbane Family Lawyers work closely with the other divisions of the firm (Property, Business, Commercial and Litigation). In doing so, we can ensure that all clients receive the benefit of experts in all aspects of their case. We can provide all the advice you need under one roof which avoids the necessity to engage with several different law firms.
By way of example, if the breakdown of your marriage or de facto relationship means that you require a business or trust to be restructured, a property to be sold, shares to be transferred, or a will or Power of Attorney document to be drafted or revoked, we have specialised legal practitioners who can provide that advice to you. Having a specialist team with expertise in multiple areas of law, you will save considerably in costs by not having to engage independent legal professionals externally.
Being able to rely on our Property, Business, Commercial and Litigation teams means that our Gold Coast Family Law and Brisbane Family Law departments can have full carriage of your matter from the outset to full and final settlement (including assisting with the implementation of Orders once they are finalised).
At Ramsden Lawyers, we have a team of experienced Gold Coast family lawyers, Brisbane family lawyers, and Sydney family lawyers providing legal services to clients in Sydney, Brisbane, and Gold Coast for over 20 years. Our team has vast experience in all fields of family law, including divorce, separation, property settlement, child custody and support and domestic violence.

At Ramsden Lawyers, we understand that family law can be a complex area of law, so we have collated a list of frequently asked questions to help our clients better understand family law and their legal rights.
In a divorce, the property is divided according to the Family Law Act. The court will consider various factors, including the duration of the marriage, the financial contributions of each party and the future needs of each party.
Child custody refers to a child’s legal and physical care, and child support refers to the financial support provided for the child. Child custody and support can be agreed upon by the parties or decided by the court if the parties cannot reach an agreement.
Pre-separation advice is legal advice provided to couples who are considering separation or divorce to help them understand their legal rights and obligations. This advice can help couples make informed decisions about their separation or divorce and help them avoid costly and time-consuming legal disputes.
Initial contributions refer to the assets that each party brought into the relationship, while post-separation contributions refer to the contributions made by each party after the separation. Initial and post-separation contributions are essential because they can affect the property division between the parties.
Domestic violence is any behaviour used to control or intimidate a partner or family member, including physical, emotional, psychological, or financial abuse. If you are experiencing domestic violence, we urge you to seek help from a support service or call our team on 1300 749 709 to receive advice and assistance.
Estate planning is the process of making plans to transfer your assets after you die. This helps ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and can help minimise the tax consequences for your beneficiaries.
Hidden or unknown assets are assets that one party has not disclosed during a family law matter. If you suspect your partner has hidden assets, you should seek legal advice from our team, who can help you investigate and recover any hidden assets.
Child support is financial support provided for a child’s care and support. Child support is evaluated based on the income of both parents and the amount of time the child spends with each parent.
A de facto relationship involves two people who are not married but reside together as a couple. De facto couples have many of the same legal rights and obligations as married couples, including property division, child support and spousal maintenance.
Same-sex couples have many of the same legal rights and obligations as opposite-sex couples, including property division, child support, and spousal maintenance.
Yes, grandparents can apply to the court for parenting orders concerning their grandchildren if they have a significant relationship with the child.
