Carol A. Phinney has practiced family law in Massachusetts since 1989 and devotes her practice to matters of uncontested and contested divorce, child custody and relocation, support, alimony, paternity, abuse prevention orders and guardianships.
Carol has represented clients in high-conflict cases in courtrooms across Eastern MA. For over 25 years, Carol practiced in Middlesex, Essex, Worcester and Suffolk Counties before relocating to scenic Cape Cod in 2016. From 2002 to 2007, Carol represented the Mother in the case of Mason v. Coleman which set the current standard of review in removal cases when the parents share physical custody. Following the SJC decision in 2006 denying Mother's relocation, Carol continued to advocate for Mother who ultimately was permitted to move the children out of State. Family law cases require a unique commitment to the client due to the highly emotional issues, the length of time required and the evolving nature of family and parenting law.

Divorce can be very difficult, and frankly Carol made the whole process easy. She is meticulous, hard working and most important an excellent communicator. I would recommend her to anyone.

Carol just recently got me divorced and also got my son the support he deserves from his father.
