Parenting Coordinator Services in Charlotte, NC

At Jetton & Meredith, we are proud to offer Parenting Coordinator services to families navigating high-conflict custody situations. Our certified Parenting Coordinator, Erika N. Angles, is a partner at the firm and has been practicing family law for over 10 years. She is trained to assist parents in reducing conflict, improving communication, and working together in the best interests of their children.

What Is a Parenting Coordinator?

A Parenting Coordinator (PC) is a qualified neutral third party, appointed by the Court or agreed upon by both parents. The Parenting Coordinator helps implement Custody Orders by guiding parents through co-parenting challenges and fostering more effective communication. This role is especially beneficial in high-conflict custody cases.

In accordance with North Carolina law and Mecklenburg County Local Rules, a qualified Parenting Coordinator must hold a Master’s or Doctorate degree in law, psychology, social work, counseling, or a related field, and possess at least five years of experience in family law.

Role and Responsibilities of a Parenting Coordinator

A Parenting Coordinator supports families in a variety of ways, including:

  • Reducing ongoing conflict between parents.
  • Teaching and reinforcing effective co-parenting and communication skills.
  • Providing education on child development and issues related to separation or divorce.
  • Enhancing parent-child relationships.
  • Resolving disputes related to custody when not explicitly addressed in the existing Court Order.

The scope as governed by § 50‑92 of a Parenting Coordinator’s authority is outlined in the Court’s Order of appointment, which may also grant the PC the ability to make certain minor decisions when disagreements persist.

When Can a Parenting Coordinator Be Appointed?

Appointment of a Parenting Coordinator may occur:

  • By request of one or both parents.
  • As part of a Custody Order.
  • At the Court’s discretion, if it determines the case is high-conflict and that the children's best interests would be served by the appointment.

    - Former Client
    "A True Professional"
    Eric Meredith represented me during what turned out to be a lengthy divorce settlement. During the first meeting, he fully explained the process ahead and answered all my questions and concerns. I still remember the feeling of relief after that meeting knowing I had a true professional in my corner. Eric, along with his Paralegal Julie, kept me updated along the way and were quick to respond with any additional issues. Not only did he call with any updates to the case, he also would ask how I was doing. I cannot recommend Eric at Jetton & Meredith enough.

    "I highly recommend Mark should you ever need an attorney."
    I highly recommend Mark. I hired him to handle a simple assault charge that was filed against me. Mark handled it professionally and expeditiously. He explained each step in the process, and everything happened just as he described. He is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you.

    "I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith"
    I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith, with my case being a little more complicated I had the opportunity to work with both Mr. Jetton and Mr. Meredith. I can say they know their stuff, Mr. Jetton was able to get my case dismissed the first time we went to court, no questions asked. Working with Mr. Meredith was a longer process but he walked me through the steps and gave me realistic expectations of an outcome that he was able to provide just as he stated he would do. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to hire Jetton & Meredith as my attorneys, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney!
    - Former Client

    This law office far exceeded my expectations. All options and possible outcomes were set before me from the start and everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. Not only will I use this law firm again, but I would also and have already recommended them to the people I care most for. Thank you for all you’ve done.
