1. I don't understand how this can happen.

Aren't plaintiffs barred from initiating a lawsuit if the defendant is actively in the military?

[TwilightGardener]

2. No. But there's a relief act (soldiers and sailors?) that gives them time

to respond when they're overseas and can't defend themselves locally.

4. Unless I misread the article the home belongs to the father of the soldier.

I could be mistaken but it appears from a quick read it was the father's home.

edit spelling

7. I think you are correct.

3. I'm confused. Is the homeowner the active-duty military son or his father? nt

5. Looks like it's his civilian dad that owns the house. I guess the military son

just gives it a more attention-worthy angle, somehow.

6. Father as far as I can tell.

Parents of active duty military can be foreclosed on like anybody else.
