The Law Offices of Ilene B. Belinsky P.C.

The Law Offices of Ilene B. Belinsky P.C. represents one of southeastern Massachusetts' most experienced and respected divorce and family law practices. With more than four decades of legal experience since her admission to the Massachusetts bar in 1980, Ilene B. Belinsky has become a fixture in family law throughout Plymouth, Norfolk, and Bristol Counties. Her consistency, expertise, and genuine commitment to her clients have made her office the trusted destination for families navigating divorce and related family law matters.

Ilene B. Belinsky received her Juris Doctor from New England Law | Boston in 1980 and was admitted to practice in Massachusetts that same year, launching a legal career that has spanned more than four decades. In an era when there were far fewer female attorneys in family law, Belinsky chose this challenging and emotionally demanding practice area, demonstrating early on the commitment to family law that would define her career.

Belinsky's extensive experience has resulted in significant professional recognition. She has been selected to the Super Lawyers list continuously from 2018 through 2025, a distinction that recognizes only the top attorneys in their field as determined by peer and client reviews. This recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects the assessments of other attorneys and the clients Belinsky has served over decades. Super Lawyers selection is not automatic; it requires demonstrated excellence, successful case outcomes, and deep respect from the legal community.

Beyond her Super Lawyers recognition, Belinsky has earned the formal designation as a Court Certified Conciliator in all trial courts of Massachusetts. This certification reflects additional training and qualification in mediation and conflict resolution, allowing Belinsky to serve in multiple roles in the family law system. She has also served as an Arbitrator and Master, and has been appointed by courts as a Guardian Ad Litem to represent children's interests in custody and family disputes. These court appointments reflect judges' confidence in Belinsky's judgment, fairness, and ability to see beyond the immediate dispute to the best interests of families and children.

The Law Offices of Ilene B. Belinsky handles the full spectrum of divorce and family law matters. The firm represents clients in contested divorces, where spouses disagree on key issues like property division or custody. The firm is equally capable of handling uncontested divorces where parties have reached agreement and need skilled guidance to finalize the arrangement. Belinsky's experience with the Massachusetts court system and her relationships with judges throughout the region mean that she can navigate court procedures efficiently, reducing delays and unnecessary litigation costs.

Child custody and visitation arrangements represent a significant portion of Belinsky's practice. She understands that custody decisions are among the most important and emotionally charged decisions families make. Rather than treating custody as merely a legal matter, Belinsky takes time to understand each family's dynamics, each child's needs, and the relationships between parents and children. This thoughtful approach often leads to custody arrangements that actually work for families long-term, rather than arrangements that create ongoing conflict.

Child support determinations are another area where Belinsky brings significant expertise. Massachusetts child support law involves complex calculations considering both parents' incomes, child-care needs, healthcare costs, and other factors. Belinsky works carefully to ensure that support determinations are accurate, fair, and compliant with Massachusetts law.

Alimony and spousal support cases are handled with attention to the economic realities of each spouse's situation. Belinsky understands that alimony is intended to provide economic fairness after marriage, considering the earning capacity and contributions of each spouse. She works to achieve support determinations that are equitable and sustainable.

Modification and contempt cases are another important aspect of Belinsky's practice. Divorce decrees are not always permanent; circumstances change, and court orders may need modification. Belinsky has extensive experience with post-divorce matters, including modification of custody, support, or property division when circumstances warrant. When a former spouse violates court orders, Belinsky knows how to hold them accountable through contempt proceedings.

The firm's location in Brockton at 1115 West Chestnut Street, Suite 206, serves as a hub for representation throughout southeastern Massachusetts. Belinsky and her staff appear in all courts throughout the Commonwealth, but maintain particular expertise in Plymouth, Norfolk, and Bristol County courts, where they appear regularly and have developed strong relationships with judges and court personnel.

Belinsky's approach to family law reflects a deep understanding that divorce affects not just the divorcing spouses but entire extended families and children. While Belinsky is a skilled litigator fully prepared to aggressively advocate for clients when necessary, she also explores alternative solutions when they serve clients' interests. Her certification as a conciliator and her history of court appointments in mediation roles reflect her commitment to finding solutions that work for families.
