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.
