Active-duty service members have legal protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), including protections that affect divorce proceedings. At Barina Law Group in Temple, we ensure your rights are respected under both state and federal law.

The SCRA can:

  • Delay civil proceedings while on active duty
  • Prevent default judgments if the service member is unavailable
  • Require the court to appoint counsel before proceeding in their absence

These protections are not automatic—you must invoke them correctly and in writing. We help file SCRA affidavits and motions to stay, especially when deployment or training schedules prevent immediate participation.

If you’re the non-military spouse, we help you move the case forward lawfully without violating the SCRA.
