Candice Rosborough-Ball

Principal

Candice is the Principal of rb family law and the person who will provide you with legal support throughout the course of your matter.

Candice aims to work with you in achieving the best outcome for you in a timely and affordable way.

Candice has worked in litigation for the majority of her legal career, having received a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Queensland in August 1996, and a Master of Applied Law (Family Law) with a distinction average from The College of Law on 13 May 2019.

She was admitted as a Solicitor on 13 July 2000 in New South Wales and later in Queensland. She has worked in mid to top tier law firms in Sydney, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, and has experience in the areas of family law, family provision claims, trade practices, commercial litigation, insurance and workers’ compensation.

Candice made the decision to specialise in family law approximately fifteen years ago, and commenced operating her own practice, rb family law, in August 2013. She finds it rewarding to assist families in finalising their parenting, spousal maintenance and financial matters.

Candice went to school and university in Brisbane and more often than not spent her holidays on the Sunshine Coast. She relocated to the Sunshine Coast approximately nine years ago and has made this her permanent base.

As well as working in private practice, Candice has recently completed her Masters (Family Law), volunteers at the Sunshine Coast Community Legal Services and cares for her middle school aged son.

“Reliable, efficient, and affordable – for many lawyers, just marketing words in contrast to your actual experience, but definitely not so with Candice!! With just 3 months available to analyse a property pot, consider parenting aspects, and brief me well for a successful negotiated financial settlement, Candice was amazingly thorough, bluntly honest on what I could expect, with a phenomenal attention to detail almost rivalling my own. We made an amazing pair, with black humour when needed! Candice has a mind like a steel trap, works fast and cuts straight to the chase to minimise time spent on distracting issues. This is the highly experienced lawyer you want in your corner for any kind of Family Law case – from simple to ugly and complex. I thoroughly recommend Candice to everyone confronting the traumatic experience of Separation and Divorce.”

Karina: Sunshine Coast: 2020.

“Candice was so proactive in helping me through a very hard financial settlement and made sure I knew all my rights when dealing with this matter. She always got back to me quickly and kept me up to date with how everything was progressing. It is a very hard time but Candice got the settlement through as quickly as possible.”

Katie, Noosa: 2020

“Candice worked with me to achieve court orders without the necessity of a further one year delay waiting for trial. I was particularly impressed with the way she worked with legal teams from both sides to expedite a child-focussed outcome. Candice’s efficiency and timeliness in managing this matter for two years led to a lot less stress in what was otherwise an exhausting, confusing and at times terrifying ordeal for me and for my children, particularly when I was self-represented. I am truly grateful for Candice’s steadiness, her ability to apply common sense during a turbulent time, and her straightforward explanation of the unfolding legal process delivered at times with a good dose of comical satire! I highly recommend engaging Candice of RB Family Law.”

Ruth, Yandina 2020

“Separation was hard; not spending time with my son and being fully engaged in his life was even harder. I was passionate, committed and determined to be involved in his life as this is my responsibility as his father. Candice ensured that legally my son’s right to be fully engaged with me as his Dad was achieved, and we had a positive outcome in his best interests. I can’t thank her enough and I am so appreciative and grateful for this.”

Darren, Cooroy: 2019

“Candice was extremely helpful in providing me with legal advice, always bearing in mind that the actions taken should be cost effective. All work undertaken was explained in plain English and with the utmost clarity and transparency. She ensured that I was always up to date with what was happening with my matter. Her approach to all parties is fair but firm. I enjoyed working with Candice and I have no hesitation in recommending her”.

Morena, Cooroy: 2019

Family separation can be a confusing, stressful and an emotionally draining time especially with children and assets to negotiate. Candice was able to explain and reassure me of certain things that made this journey a real learning experience. We had many hurdles along the way and she remained staunch, clear and kept focussed on the big picture; communicating with me the entire way.

She gave me her professional opinion on certain outcomes that might eventuate from the choices I would make. This allowed me to understand what was happening and was better informed to make certain decisions along the way. I highly recommend Candice as she has done fantastic work at representing me.

Alfred, Tinbeerwah: 2019

Candice supported my Mum through a really stressful and challenging time. She was professional, extremely knowledgeable and fast with her responses. Some legal terms were a little daunting and I found that Candice explained things, without judgement, when we asked her questions. Candice is very sharp and she gave us a sense of empowerment. We felt like valued clients and not just another number. I can’t thank her enough!

Sheree, Highworth: 2019

Candice was highly recommended to me through a friend at work as I wasn’t getting anywhere with lawyers I previously interviewed about my property settlement. I can honestly say her opening statement on her website says it all so accurately. She is above all honest, reliable, efficient and most of all very direct (to the point), getting the job done. I give heartfelt thanks to Candice for the highest standards I have ever experienced in her profession. I couldn’t have done this without her. A very positive outcome made very affordable, unlike other lawyers I have come across on previous occasions. It gave me great pleasure seeing Candice in action. She is a true master and born for her profession as a lawyer. I have already taken the liberty of recommending her to others.

Julie, Gympie: 2019

“Can’t thank you enough for making what was a horrible, unexpected time in my life much easier to navigate. I never felt that I was asking silly questions and my many emails were answered promptly. Without your expertise I may have made errors in my orders.”

Lisa, Sunrise Beach: 2018

“Candice is the perfect solicitor. Hard but understanding, patient but with a sense of urgency, diligent in all matters and most of all honest with her dealings with me regarding expected outcomes. She is extremely intelligent and has a vast grasp of the law and other psychological matters. Let’s face it, divorce can be emotionally and financially crippling. She guided me to a position which was fair and reasonable.

When I first approached my divorce with another solicitor the first solicitor wanted me to settle on a figure which would have cost me many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Candice brought some hope to me initially and ended up delivering. When, over the years, the other side prevaricated in every way, Candice was able to move the divorce forward. She handled and beat comprehensively one of the largest law firms in Australia at about one quarter of the cost.

So when I say Candice cannot improve on her services this is not a hollow gesture, she really is an amazing individual that has given back to me once again a sense of worth and hope.”
