About Greatrix Law
Greatrix Law is a family law firm in Guelph, Ontario. Its work centres on separation and divorce and everything that comes with them: parenting arrangements, child and spousal support, dividing property, and sorting out the matrimonial home. The firm also drafts marriage and cohabitation agreements, prepares wills, estates, and trusts documents, and offers notarizing and commissioning. Its principal, Sarah A. Greatrix, earned an honours psychology degree from the University of Waterloo and a law degree from the University of Windsor in 2007, and the firm describes nearly twenty years of experience in the field.
The practice leans toward settling matters outside court where it can, through collaborative family law, negotiation, and mediation. When a file needs it, the firm takes cases to the Ontario Court of Justice and the Superior Court of Justice. Alongside the principal, an associate lawyer and a senior law clerk with more than two decades in family law make up a small team, so clients tend to work with more than one person. Greatrix Law lists a set consultation fee and meets clients both in person and virtually.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Greatrix Law works out of Woodlawn Park Plaza at 291 Woodlawn Road West, in Guelph's north end. Woodlawn is one of the city's east to west arterials, and the plaza sits among the shops and service offices strung along it, with parking on site. A short way toward Woolwich Street is Riverside Park, an 80 acre run of green along the Speed River that Guelph residents know for its 1919 carousel and its large floral clock. The spot is easy to reach from Highway 6 and the rest of the north end, which suits a practice that takes clients from across Guelph and Wellington County and out toward Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Milton.
