Shipmate and friend had a similar FU while we were deployed in '85. He got back to SD to find his wife had sold his classic restored '55 Chevy truck to $1K, sold his guns and had his dog put to sleep, then moved in with her new BF. She handed him divorce papers as he walked off the boat to meet her on the dock, he was completely unaware that there was a problem.
Kind of messed him up for a while.
You know, my first thought is that SCRA should be amended to address this, but my second thought is that the civilians need the same protection.
Basically speaking, if there's probable cause to believe that one spouse, anticipating divorce, disposes of assets in a fashion that's non-optimal to the other party, that the judge 'charge back' the difference in value to spouse who 'got rid' of the stuff. Heck, I wouldn't rule out putting it into the law that the default assumption is that the disposing party sold it for it's real worth and is hiding the money hoping to come out ahead in the divorce. A quick look says that a '55 chevy would be worth around $20k, so that would be $9.5k(half of the $19k difference between 'real' value and disposition value) that she has to pay HIM. That's before you get into the guns, dog, etc...
Where the SCRA should come in is things like meeting him on the dock with the divorce papers, officially extending the timeline for 'anticipated divorce' to cover at least the deployment period.
