Real Property Child Support LienProperty liens, garnishments, etc. can only be implemented after due process. If a child support order is in effect the court can take whatever means necessary. This ususually involves garnishment of wages rather than a property lien. Altough if there is a large amount of back support due, it is an option. In order to collect a judgment on real property, a forced sale would have to be implemented. A complicated and lengthy process. If the property is jointly owned, a forced sale could probably be avoided.

And here is more from other Wiki s contributors:

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.

Can child support put a lien on property if you owe?

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.
