About Caron Family Law
Caron Family Law is a family law practice based in Kitchener, Ontario, that serves clients across Waterloo Region's three cities of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge. It's a small practice built around a single lawyer, Heather Caron, with a law clerk on staff. The firm handles family matters only: separation and divorce, parenting arrangements and child support, spousal support, dividing property and pensions, marriage and cohabitation agreements, and adoption. It also takes on Hague Convention cases involving children removed across international borders, and it provides notary public and commissioner services.
Heather Caron studied at Wilfrid Laurier University and Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the Ontario bar in 2002, with earlier work in criminal law and in child and family services before moving into family law. The firm's usual starting point is to settle without a trial. It works through collaborative family law, mediation and negotiation, on the view that resolving a case before it reaches court tends to save time, money and stress. When a matter does need a hearing, the firm brings courtroom experience that runs from the Ontario Court of Justice up to the Court of Appeal for Ontario. Heather Caron is also one of the ambassadors for She Is Your Neighbour, a Waterloo Region campaign against domestic violence.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Kitchener is the largest of Waterloo Region's three cities, sitting next to Waterloo and a short drive from Cambridge, and Caron Family Law works across all three. That regional reach matters for a family practice, because separations rarely stay inside one city. Parents move between Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge, and property, pensions and support still have to be worked out wherever the family actually lives.
Family matters for the region run through the Waterloo Region Courthouse on Frederick Street in downtown Kitchener, which brings the Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Justice under one roof. Most of the firm's work aims to settle well before a file gets that far, through collaborative meetings and mediation, but the courtroom is close by when a case genuinely needs a judge.
