Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
In a divorce or custody case, this act means that an active duty soldier, who is not available to defend his or her case, cannot generally be defaulted. This act was passed by Congress to provide protection for individuals entering or called to active duty in the military service. It is intended to postpone or suspend certain civil obligations to enable service members to devote full attention to duty. There are numerous protections and if this act might apply in your case, you are urged to contact your legal assistance office to learn more.
