A Minnesota National Guardsman is suing his estranged wife and her boyfriend after she allegedly squandered his Active Duty pay while he was serving in Iraq.
According to documents filed Jan. 25 in Johnson County, Kimberly Scullen, 26, of Swisher, spent nearly all of the money her husband, Andrew Scullen, 36, of Hastings, Minn., earned while he was in active duty with the National Guard.
According to the 13-count suit, the Scullens were married on March 10, 2006. Five days later, Andrew Scullen was deployed to serve in Iraq. While serving, Scullen granted his wife power of attorney at her request.
After granting her power of attorney, Kimberly Scullen allegedly spent nearly all of her husband’s pay he received during active duty, the documents state.
After returning home in July 2007, Andrew Scullen was served with divorce papers by his wife, the documents state. A short time later, he learned that his wife was living with her boyfriend, Nicholas Hale, 23, of Swisher. Scullen also learned he was allegedly “deep in debt” after his wife spent most of the money he earned.
According to the suit, Kimberly Scullen spent the money she took to take trips and “purchase luxuries” for herself and others. She also allegedly gave cash to Hale and possibly others, the documents state. Also, by failing to pay debts and continuing to let them go unpaid, Andrew Scullen’s credit rating was damaged.
Scullen has demanded a trial by jury, according to court records. He is seeking compensation for his losses, plus interest, court costs and other relief deemed by the court.
Andrew Scullen’s attorney, Philip Burian, did not return a message seeking comment. Cedar Rapids Attorney Chuck Hallberg, who is representing Kimberly Scullen in her pending divorce, said he expected the case to be handled in the divorce proceedings.
“There’s two sides to every story,” Hallberg said.
