Description

Being served divorce papers can feel like a punch to the gut—unexpected, overwhelming, and filled with confusing legal language but it doesn’t have to send you into a tailspin.

In this episode, attorney Bobby Buchanan and host Greer Howard break down exactly what to do when you're served with a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. 

They cover:

• What those documents actually mean
  
• Why staying calm and informed is your best first move
  
• How to find the right attorney based on your county
  
• What to expect from the summons, petition, and next steps
  
• Why the clock starts ticking—and what happens if you ignore it
  
• What’s real (and what’s boilerplate) in those intimidating legal claims
  
• How to build your emotional and professional support team
  

Whether you were blindsided or saw it coming, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you take control and make confident, informed decisions.
