Carrie Parker

Carrie Parker is a Senior Paralegal and North Carolina State Certified Paralegal with Triangle Divorce Lawyers. She supports attorneys and clients in divorce, child custody, and other North Carolina family law matters. Originally from Virginia, Carrie has called North Carolina home for more than 30 years and has lived in Johnston County for nearly three decades.

Carrie earned her bachelor's degree in elementary education from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. After teaching kindergarten, first grade, and second grade for 15 years, she transitioned into the legal profession and became a North Carolina State Certified Paralegal in 2006.

Her interest in family law was shaped in part by her own experience with child custody litigation. Having personally navigated a challenging legal process, Carrie understands how emotional and overwhelming family law matters can feel. She draws on that perspective to help clients feel informed, supported, and better prepared as their cases move forward.

As a Senior Paralegal, Carrie assists the legal team with case organization, document preparation, client communication, and the many details involved in divorce, custody, and other family law matters. She works to help clients understand what to expect and to make the process feel more manageable during significant family transitions.

Outside the office, Carrie enjoys spending time with her three grown children, Britt, Brad, and Izzy, and her granddaughters, Meadow and Brooke. She and her former partner have developed a positive relationship over the years, giving her additional perspective on how families can continue moving forward after separation.

Carrie also has a lifelong connection to horses. While attending William & Mary, she was a member of the college's equestrian team through the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association. She has experience retraining off-the-track Thoroughbreds, competing in eventing, foxhunting with Triangle Hunt, and supporting young riders through the Raleigh Triangle Pony Club.

Today, Carrie manages a small farm where she cares for horses, chickens, cats, and dogs. She is especially interested in the American Mustang and has owned and trained several wild-born mustangs adopted through the Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse and Burro Program.
