An X17 photographer on the scene tells us "he had a very serious face as he approached Shawn's front door...like he was ready for business."

A King family source tells X17online that prior to Kauffman's arrival, Shawn had been talking to her attorney all morning on the phone.

Kauffman has represented other high profile cases including Roseanne Barr's divorce from third husband, Ben Thomas.
