Whenever Mediation is possible, dispute resolution is a better method than costly and lengthy litigation. Heidi spent her early career working for several top family law litigators in North Carolina-Joslin Davis, Bill Diehl, and Greg Hatcher. During her time working in firms that specialized in family law litigation, she experienced the time-consuming and expensive process of litigation first hand.
She also saw how settlements could be created from some of the most contentious situations, if the lawyers and the parties were committed to the process of settlement. Settling cases in this way is called Collaborative Law practice, and it has found a home within family law practices not just in the U.S. but around the world. Determined to learn more about Collaborative Law methods, Heidi joined the Mecklenburg Collaborative Family Law Practice Group, Inc. in 2006.
This group is now known as the Charlotte Collaborative Divorce Professionals group. At Risser Law, we want to help your family avoid litigation and find the best possible solution for your particular situation.

It is no secret emotions run high when a couple is divorcing.

Child support issues arise whenever there is a child and the parents are parting ways.
NC provides child support guidelines to assist the parents in knowing what amount of child support is appropriate, but it takes a little experience to calculate child support correctly using the guidelines.
For certain high income couples, the guidelines may not be the appropriate tool for setting child support.
In every case, it is a good idea to have an experienced attorney help you to make child support decisions.

Custody and visitation are two of the most important issues in a transitioning family.
In most cases, parents want to do what is best for their children, but they do not always agree on what that is.
After all, many marriages end because parents are unable to agree on things.
Disagreement will likely spread into how they raise their child.
This does not mean, though, that parents cannot work together to create the best possible custody and visitation arrangement for their family.
When parents want to settle the issue of custody, it is important that they consider many options.

Heidi Risser can serve as a mediator for the parties.
The mediation process is different from the collaborative law process, because the mediator cannot provide legal advice and because the mediator is a neutral between the parties.
Mediation is an option for resolving legal disputes without handing control of the outcome over to the court.
It is a process by which many types of disputes can be settled and it offers a wide variety of benefits.
Mediation brings the parties involved in a dispute together to explore their various options for a resolution.

Parents who have experienced a high-conflict divorce often wish their family relationship would disappear completely, but it does not.
These same parents must learn to co-parent their children, often for many years.
This dynamic also holds for never-married parents who have adjudicated custody issues.
The children wish the conflict would disappear once their parents are living apart, but the same family dynamics that led to the divorce are in place after the divorce.
In such a setting, the children suffer as the parents engage in ongoing custody litigation, filing contempt action after contempt action against each other.
