Do you know where I can find it?

Re: Soldier Sailors Relief Act

50 USC section 464 Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1910 and 1918.

Any decent lawyer should be aware of this Act. It is an affirmative defense that can be pleaded. If your enlistee continues to have problems, have him call me.
