Military Divorce Attorney in Lewisville, TX
Serving Military Members Through The Divorce Process in Texas
As a member of the U.S. Military who is considering divorce, you need a divorce lawyer who understands your situation. As a West Point graduate and former army captain, Attorney John Haugen is well equipped to understand the different dynamics of a military divorce.
Today, Attorney Haugen strives to help citizens and military members alike as they navigate the divorce process, but understands that divorce is not the same for military members as it is for civilians - the process deals with a number of financial and property matters that do not apply to people who are not in the military.
Unique military divorce matters include:
- Division of military benefits
- Division of military retirement
- Child support involving active military
- Alimony involving active military
- Child custody when one parent is deployed overseas
- Property division
- Court-order modifications
Protection Under the Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA)
Active duty military members are protected from unfair treatment when they are overseas. The Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA) prevents spouses or any other party from abusing their absence and inability to appear in court. If you are deployed overseas and your spouse files for divorce, you cannot be penalized due to your inability to appear in court. Your property and assets are safe as long as you meet the requirements for protection under the SCRA. Consult a divorce attorney right away if you are in this situation and want to fully understand your rights.

"I cannot recommend Connor and Delaney more!"I researched and wanted a lawyer familiar with military families and the Haugen Law Firm was it! I had so many different factors in my divorce and child custody, and you truly get what you pay for. I am so thankful to have found them and for all the guidance and help through the process. I cannot recommend Connor and Delaney more! This is already a stressful situation and to be able to have a team to help me better understand the ins and outs of the legal tidbits and process helped. It was well worth the cost and even though it feels expensive I know without a doubt that my divorce and custody was done right, and the paperwork shows it. They helped me think of things a regular divorce lawyer wouldn't know due to being a military family. If I need legal help again, I will be coming back for sure! I cannot thank them enough for all their support and patience with me during the process with all of my questions and walking me through the long process.
