Can a lien be placed on a person's home, if there is a judgement for back child support? The home and land is owned by my x-husband and his other x-wife. He is currently making his monthly back payments, but the judgement will never be paid off at the rate of payment and did not include a date to be paid by. I would like to have another avenue in place, in case he tries to sale his home or quick deed it to his x-wife. There are other realistic issues, such as quiting his job and running off to Canada and the inevitable for us all, death. I raised 3 boys without his child support , which was all of $100.00 per child per month. The state finally found him when my youngest son was 18, took him to court and I agreed to drop all the interest dollars, wanting only what should have been paid per month. Unfortunately, he has chosen not to get a loan to pay the judgement off, so it now continues to accure interest and will never be paid off at this rate. Just looking into the possibility of a lien on his portion of ownership of the land and home. Also, since he is currently making payments, can I still file the lien? I've worked my entire life, but in the state we divorced, the child support was set up to be handled by the Dept. of Economic Security and a contracting Clearning house. The Dept of Econ. has at times collected back support through tax refunds (twice) and a savings account one time just recently. So, I'm thinking a lien is possible, but believe I would have to take care of the process myself, which is okay, just looking for some legal guidence or advice?
