About Jane McKenzie Family Law
Family law is the only work Jane McKenzie Family Law takes on, and it serves clients throughout the Kitchener-Waterloo region. It's the practice of Jane McKenzie, a family lawyer based in Waterloo, Ontario.
If you're facing a divorce, it can be contested or uncontested; both are handled here. On child support, Jane McKenzie helps work out the correct amount, negotiates agreements, and enforces or varies existing orders once circumstances shift.
Parenting schedules are built around what the children need, when each parent works, and how your family actually lives day to day. When separated parents can't settle on one, Jane McKenzie brings parenting time motions and answers them too. On decision-making responsibility, the term that replaced custody, the work is helping clients understand their rights and reach arrangements that work.
You can retain Jane McKenzie for an entire case, or on a limited scope basis for particular parts of one. Jane McKenzie is committed to working within a client's budget and around their schedule, and meetings happen in person at the Waterloo office or remotely by phone or video.

Emergency motions and safety
Jane McKenzie brings urgent motions and responds to them, and can move quickly when a situation calls for speed. Where someone's safety is at stake, the practice can help with a restraining order application and, in extreme cases, coordinate police assistance.
Changing an existing order
After a material change in circumstances, a Motion to Change is how a parent asks the court to revisit parenting, support or other terms set out in an earlier order. Jane McKenzie takes these on from either side, whether starting one or opposing it.

By appointmentHow Jane McKenzie Family Law works
At Jane McKenzie Family Law, court is one available tool rather than the automatic first step. The aim is practical results that guard a client's interests while keeping conflict low. Jane McKenzie also commits to explaining your options plainly, without legal jargon, so you can make informed choices of your own.
Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The practice's office is on King Street South in Uptown Waterloo, and the city's centre sits close to the corner where King meets Erb Street. The ground here wasn't easy to build on: swampy land near the original village held development back, and King Street itself started out as a corduroy road. Today the Ion light rail line links uptown Waterloo with downtown Kitchener.
Frequently asked questions
- Will Jane McKenzie Family Law draft or review my documents if I'm mostly handling my own case?

- Evening and weekend appointments can be arranged, but those times are for remote meetings only. During regular hours, you can meet in person or remotely.
