I know how it works in Texas. The Child Support Lien is not actually against the property, it's against the debtor. A title company checks for Abstract of Judgements, Federal Tax Liens, Child Support Liens, etc. when a person does a real estate transaction. If any are found the title company will require the lien(s) to be paid off on or before closing the transaction. To my knowledge, the only ones that can take your property(IF IT IS YOUR HOMESTEAD) are: IRS, DEA, TAXING AUTHORITIES, and the note holder. "Investment Property" is treated differently.
First of all the plaintiff should determine if there is grounds a lawsuit in accordance with state statutes. If that is determined to be valid, the party involved files a lawsuit in the court of jurisdiction. If the plaintiff wins the suit, they can obtain a writ of judgment to execute against nonexempt property belonging to the defendant. The suit will probably need to be filed in a circuit or district court, as the majority of small claims courts only award with monetary judgments.
File a lawsuit against the party involved in the court of jurisdiction. If the suit is won by the plaintiff, they will receive a writ of judgment which can be used to place a lien against the defendant's property. When executing a judgment the plaintiff must follow all the pertinent state laws exactly for the judgment to be valid. When executing liens against real property, many factors have to be addressed, particularly the way in which the property is owned/titled under state law.

The laws vary from state to state. Generally, you must file a lawsuit against the debtor in the civil court of jurisdiction. If you win you can request a judgment lien and it can be recorded in the land records. In most states a lien can be placed against jointly owned property to the extent of the percentage owned by the debtor. The exception is marital property held in TBE when only one spouse owes the debt.
The property cannot be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid.
You don't have the legal authority to place a lien on anyone's property. You must go through the court.
The practices vary from state to state. Generally, first you need to bring a suit in the appropriate court and win. The court will then issue a judgment. You can request a recordable judgment lien from the court clerk. The court will advise you of the state laws for recording. In my state a judgment lien must be recorded by a sheriff.
It is assumed that you are referring to a lien for an unpaid debt since you are asking how you can place a lien on someone else's property. In that case you must bring a lawsuit and win. If you win the court will issue a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records.

I do believe a lawyer bringing this fact to the judge can make him sell the property to pay off the child support.
Yes. The lien can be recorded against the interest of the debtor. The property cannot be mortgaged or sold until the lien has been satisfied.

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.AnswerYes. 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.
Yes. If they can find it the court can place a lien on the proceeds like any other creditor can through the court. Child support is a debt you owe.
