Meet our current Vice President, Shannon Novey, the managing partner at Novey+Gonzalez in Tallahassee, FL, and a proud AAML Florida Fellow since 2012. In this post, Shannon addresses a common concern: "What do I do if I am served divorce papers?" Here are Shannon's key steps to take: Verify the Papers: Make sure that you are genuinely being served divorce papers in the correct manner. Understanding what you have received is essential for your next steps. Find a Lawyer: It’s crucial to seek legal representation promptly. Remember, you only have 20 DAYS to respond to the papers, so don’t delay in finding a qualified attorney who can guide you through this process and protect your interests. Navigating a divorce can be overwhelming, but having the right support and knowledge can make all the difference. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

As the sun set on our 2024 Retreat Weekend we are grateful for our Fellows who were able to make the trip, our retreat sponsors Mercer Capital and Smolin, Lupin & Co., LLC, and the city of Memphis for showing us southern hospitality at it’s finest!
