A judge would not do such a thing. The person to whom the alimony is owed would need to file a civil suit to have the obligated ex-spouse honor the terms of the divorce decree. If he or she won the suit they would be granted a judgment and said judgment could be executed as a lien against real property owned by the judgment defendant.

Once a divorce decree has been finalized the party wishing to enforce or amend the terms when the other person is not voluntarily agreeable to the action; must file suit in the appropriate state court to do so. The judge who issued the final decree is no longer a part of the situation and has no power of enforcement unless a suit is filed in his or her court's jurisdiction.

All property liens encumbered the named property to the extent it cannot be sold, obtain additional financial (loans) acts or have a title of ownership transferred until the lien is paid. The exception to such, is if said property is jointly owned and if so, how said property is titled.

Is there jail time for non payment of alimony?

No. Not exactly. If alimony is owed, it is a matter of court order. That is a judge ordered the defendant to pay alimony for a specific amount of time to the plaintiff. If the defendant fails to pay the alimony, he is in contempt of court. The plaintiff would need to file a notice of noncompliance with the court (as simple as a letter to the ordering judge) and a bench warrant would likely be issued. If the defendant is not subsequently apprehended by law enforcement, the plaintiff may motion the court to enforce the bench warrant, and which time the judge would issue an order for arrest for the defendant. The defendant would then be actively sought by law enforcement, arrested, and would appear before the ordering judge to explain why he had not complied with the court order to pay alimony.

What can you do if your ex husband filed a lien on property that was not granted to him by the court?

If you believe your ex has filed the lien only to force you to give up title to the property, I would file a new petition with the original court that determined how the property should be split. Make sure you state in your petition that the Honorable Judge (last name) had ordered that the property at (give address) was to be solely held by (your name) but after the Judge's order, your ex (give his name) has filed a lien which you believe was filed only to give him control over the property. Then, request the Judge review this in light of the Judge's previous order.Have all documents with you in case copies need filed with the petition. I would include:The Judge's prior order concerning THIS propertyThe deed of the property in questionThe lien paper you received AFTER the Judge's order

What is the principle reason for a judges diminshed sentencing power?

The principle reason for the judge's diminished sentencing power is that the judge would impose a prison sentence with both a minimum and a maximum term in years such as a 2 years minimum to 5 years maximum, or 5 years minimum to 20 years maximum.Another View: A reason for a judge's diminished sentencing power would be the proliferation of legislatively mandated minimum sentences attached to the statute law that the state legislatures are passing. The law, as passed by the legislature TELLS the judge how much fine or sentence he/she MUST impose and allows no leeway for judicial discretion.
