How do I file a lien against real property for back child support?

It may depend on your state, but I don't know that you can put a lien.\n\nYou need to go to court.  Let them help you enforce the arrearage owed.  They may be able to require the liquidation of assets, depending on the amount owed.  \n\nOther likely outcomes would be a garnishment of wages and tax refunds.  If the person owns real property, I am assuming they have a traceable job.\n\nBut even if your state allows a property lien, you will need the help of the court to enforce the order and collect on the arrears if they are not voluntarily being paid.

Contact the attorney who filed your case for you. You may be able to roll it over to a chapter 7, but you might lose property in the process. If your debts are that high, and your income that low, you might need to just let everything go back and start over.

Either go to a lawyer or there are some really good software programs that lead you through it step by step.  Unless you are ROLLING in money, it is easy enough to do yourself.

Yikes!  Ask some local attorneys what options you have.  Some may take payments in increments.  It could be that if you take him to court he'll have to suck up most of the cost anyway, even back child support since you have been separated.  Never hurts to make some phone calls!  Much luck to you.  I think you'll find this is easier than you think, it's just annoying as hell.

Did you record the lien against the property in the county recorder's office where the property resides?\n\nWas there joint tenancy?  If there was JT, the property can possibly pass to the surviving joint tenant(s) without having to go through probate court or triggering a 'sale' or 'transfer' provision that might have uncovered your lien.\n\nWas the estate set aside/low value?  Most states have a low estate value provision that allows for a probate 'lite' proceeding where the assets, debts and liens and heirs are listed an approved by the court.\n\nNext, you have to look at the purpose of a lien. It is the right to take someone else’s property if an obligation is not discharged. It gives the lien holder (creditor) an interest in the property until the property owner’s debt to the creditor is satisfied or otherwise released.  Consult your state's property laws for specifics.\n\nGenerally, if you recorded a lien against the real property of the decendent, title to the real property is thus encumbered and cannot be transferred without notifying the lien holder, who is then given an opportunity to file a claim. Generally, a lien only preserves your legal right to make a claim in the future.\n\nNow, let's pile on your state's probate laws.  Probate laws vary significantly from state to state.  Generally, there is atleast a requirement to publish a public notice calling for claims against the estate.  Of the claims receieved, the administrator either approved or denies the claims.  Approved claims can be paid from proceeds of the estate.  If the claim is denied, the creditor must sue the estate to get paid.\n\nThese are all generalities of what happens, but may or may not be true for your state.  Lien law and probate law are very complex areas and together they make a fine mess.\n\nIf it is a significant amount of money, you may want to consult an attorney.

The best way to get child support is to go the your local social services office and apply for medicaid,food stamps and aid to dependent children checks.When it's coming out of their pockets they get busy,go after the dad for reimbursement.Have you filed a petition in juvenile and domestic relations intake office so you can go back to court.I doubt the attorney general would help but you can contact the division  of child support services in your area

Most likely, no, but run, do not walk to the nearest attorney.  Bring all the docs you have.  He or she will discover the validity of the lien.  Liens are strange - anyone can lien anything and it is up to the receiver to remove the lien.  If the lien is wrongful, file a wrongful lien lawsuit back at 'em and attach as many charges to it as you possible can.

Contact your state Attorney General's office. In most states, they can only collect via one avenue or the other. It would take a court order to place a lien on your home as well as garnishment.\nIn most states creditors of unsecured debt cannot place a lien on real property.

I don't think you can place a lien on an individual.  Liens are placed on property.  If you have the address of the property you may be able to go to the department of county records and do the research.  Another option may be to visit your title company and ask them to run a preliminary report for you.  The report will show liens such as taxes.

You need a lawyer if you want to make sure it's done right.  I mean, no offense, but it looks like you don't even know how to spell the word "legal".  Real property law is filled with hard and fast rules that must be adhered to, especially when it comes to recording the conveyance document.\n\nBut if you insist on doing it yourself, then look for legal forms for deeds, leases, easements or whatever you need.  You can try office supply stores, copy services or the internet.

sadly, yes they can. The county inwhich you owe back child support in can garnish your taxes every year until all back child support is paid.  Not only can they take your state tax returns, but they can also take your federal tax returns. Generally there is some salvation.  If you have remarried, your spouse may file form 8379 Injured Spouse Allocation, with both federal and state revenue offices.  This way they can only take the person who owes back child support and your spouse will receive their tax returns.

The answer is not a straight yes or no.  More information here is needed.  What state do you live in?  Do you currently have a child support order that he has violated?\n\nLet's take California for instance.  If you do not have a child support order already in place, then you and your daughter are screwed.  Constitutionally, the California courts are without authority to order back support which pre-dates your filing of a motion for support.  The court only has jurisdiction to order support from the date you file the motion forward.\n\nIf you do have a current child support order that he has not been paying then there are many ways to enforce the back support.  It does not vanish when your daughter turns 18.  He owes it all plus interest at 10% per year.  The best way to enforce is it to obtain a wage garnishment order from the superior court.  In addition, contact your local District Attorneys' office.  People who skip out on child support are akin to murderers in the eyes of the law.  It is serious business.\n\nFeel free to contact me through this service if you'd like to discuss the matter.
