What Is The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA)?
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) is a set of federal statutes designed to protect the rights of active-duty military personnel who are involved in civil matters. State courts, such as courts that handle divorce proceedings, and administrative agencies are required to follow the provisions of the SCRA.
The SCRA is known for its application to servicemembers who are unable to appear in court due to their military obligations. Many people know that servicemembers who are parties in a divorce or a foreclosure action have important rights under the SCRA, but there are many other aspects of the act.
If you need the advice of an attorney with regard to a family law matter or another legal challenge that relates to the SCRA, our firm can assist you. We have been helping military personnel with legal matters for decades.
