Vincent Ramsay

Vincent Ramsay retired in 2022 after 28 years of practice as a family law lawyer in Kingston, Ontario. He represented both parent clients and child clients, the latter as Agent for the Office of the Children’s Lawyer. He is a longtime member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC – an international, multidisciplinary family law organization) and was a founding member of the local Kingston group of the Ontario Chapter of AFCC. His contributions to Ontario’s Family Justice System have been recognized at the provincial level by the Distinguished Service Award from AFCC Ontario, and at the local level by the Lou Tepper Award of Excellence from the Frontenac Law Association. For several years he has been researching, writing and speaking about the need to transform Canada’s Family Justice System, as too often parents and children are harmed by the adversarial litigation process, which is antithetical to the promotion of the best interests of the children. Most significantly, Vince is the proud grandfather of one-year-old, Heather!
