Best Answer

A Springfield, MO Court placed a lien on the estate that a deceased father would have inherited from his parents, cutting any possibility of his older children, from his deceased first wife, from receiving anything.

Answer

Yes. Child Support Liens are an important tool in collecting arrearages.

Although practices and resources for collecting child support arrearages may vary from state to state, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act has been adopted by every state in the U.S. The Act establishes rules that require every state to defer to child support orders entered by courts in the child's home state.

Every state has a means by which a lien can be attached to any property owned by an obligor. On a basic level, those liens capture wages, tax refunds, real property and motor vehicles. The property cannot be sold or refinanced unless the lien is paid off. However, many states have become quite persistent and creative in finding other assets that should be used to support children of delinquent parents. Following are some examples.

Some states compare a list of obligors to lottery winners and hold back funds to pay arrearages. Some states restrict any type of license renewal until arrearages are paid. Some states search 1099s for IRA accounts. NJ has attached the award in a pending class action suit against US Steel. A Kentucky court ruled that a father's obligation was not terminated by his death. Maryland has a standard procedure for attaching an obligor's inheritance. The state of Florida discovered an obligor was the beneficiary of a NY trust and was able to enforce a judgment against the trust for arrearages and garnishment for future monthly payments.

Generally, no. However, child support enforcement doesn't usually record liens against property that is not owned by the obligor. If you transferred ownership of your property in order to avoid a lien a court can void the transfer.

If you live with a significant other who owns property child support enforcement cannot place a lien on that property.

They can petition to put a lien on the property. All they need to do is prove to the court that the money is owed.
