A lien is a security interest in the property. A lien might arise from a loan. If you buy a car with the bank's money the bank will put a lien on the car. If you don't pay the bank back, it can foreclose on its lien and take the car from you.

If you have a roofer add a new roof to your house, and you don't pay him, the laws allow the roofer to put a lien on your house. The roofer now has a stake in the house. If you don't pay off the lien your house can be forcibly put up for sale in order to satisfy the lien.

I believe "property and tenets" translates into modern speak as "property and belongings".

How do you place a child support lien on real property?

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 a single lien holder take their full judgment award if it is less than the judgment amount and there are other lien holders?

Yes. It is not split proratably or such.The amount goes to the lienholder in first position...generally the one who has the first recorded lien, to the amount of his lien, (entirely if it is less than the lien) and is distributed step by step down the lien holders by position until used up. Lower lienholders may get nothing while senior ones get paid in entirely.


Can a person place a lien on their own property to protect it from creditors?

No, such an action is not possible, and even if it were it would not protect the person's property from creditor action. Personal and real property belonging to a debtor are protected from creditor attachment to the extent provided by the laws of the debtor's state. The exemptions that can be used to protect specific property against a judgment creditor are the same ones that are used when filing bankruptcy and in certain circumstances federal non-bankruptcy exemptions can be used as well.
