About

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.

Attorney Phinney did an outstanding job representing me in a complex case. She was extremely dedicated and her skill and expertise were clearly demonstrated both in and out of the courtroom which resulted in the best possible outcome for my case. She was easy to communicate with, always kept me well informed, and showed great compassion for dealing with sensitive and difficult matters that arise in family law. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Attorney Phinney to anyone in need of her services!

Carol just recently got me divorced and also got my son the support he deserves from his father. She was extremely professional, even in the face of my ex who was trying to taunt and make fun of her throughout the process. Hiring her gave me peace of mind for my sons future, as she found an alternative way to make my ex pay instead of tacking more onto his unpaid child support arrears. She was a pleasure to work with!!!
