Hendrikx Family Law

About Hendrikx Family Law

Hendrikx Family Law is a small firm in Toronto's Financial District that practices family law exclusively. Kathryn Hendrikx founded the firm in 2017 after more than a decade focused on family law matters. Hendrikx earned a law degree from Osgoode in 2001 and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2002, having started in marketing and public relations and articled at a downtown Toronto litigation firm before moving into family law in 2006. In 2015, Hendrikx was appointed a Dispute Resolution Officer of the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, and has training in Alternative Dispute Resolution, mediation, collaborative family law, and family arbitration.

The firm handles separation and divorce, custody and parenting, child and spousal support, and division of property, and helps clients update wills, powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations after a marital change. The team includes an associate lawyer called to the Ontario Bar in 2021 and a senior law clerk with a decade at the firm. Most files are resolved through direct negotiation or mediation rather than in court, with litigation treated as a last resort when other options break down.
