MY EX WIFE PLACED A LIEN ON MY HOME FOR BACK CHILD SUPPORT OWED?

It wasn't your wife who put a lien on your property--It was the the state you live in on her behalf. When you don't pay child support you are subject to liens such as this and also, you are also subject to a restraint on traveling.....meaning if you wish to travel, you will be flagged and not be able to travel until you pay. Your license can be revoked or suspended for nonpayment of child support.

So before you choose not to pay child support think about the reprecussions.. it is a HUMAN BEING you are depriving of their rightful support. PAY YOUR CHILD SUPPORT!!

well, what you do is you pay off the debt for the child support, then you have the lien removed once you're current on your child support. If you still owe money when the house goes for sale, then the lien will be paid at closing by the title company and it will come out of your profits on the house. If there isn't enough money at closing to pay off all the debts against the house, then the house can't be sold and you'll have to repay the people who have been making payments to you for the house for the last 2 years.

You have a problem, since you could not record the sale because you could not pay off the note, it’s still in your name, still fair game to have not only that lien but any other future liens can be attached to the title , Hence why these are bad real estate deals for the buyers

As such it’s a first to record situation, the note is first, then the lien is second, the sale contract is only valid when recorded and notice public notice is given, until that time other liens can be levied against the title, to wit you will not be able to transfer title, the buyer will not be able to refinance on his own until all liens are satisfied

Your caps lock button is stuck.

As the others said, that is the way it works. If you don't pay, your property gets a lien slapped on it.

Maybe you can ask "Michelle" or whoever's handle you are using to help pay your obligations.

Unless you pay up, when you sell this house (an OWC where the title has not transferred yet doesn't absolve you of owning the property) the state will take whatever you owe off the top, then your lender is paid, then you - in that order.

You are the responsible party since, the mortgage is in your name. The person who is making the payments expects you to abide by the terms on your mortgage contract just as they are abiding by the terms of your mutual contract by making payments to you.

If the house is foreclosed upon you may owe this party who made payments to you for the full amount of the payments made and possibly interest if you can not transfer the mortgage to him or her. Is your contract written or verbal? Is the contract enforceable?

Consult an Real Estate attorney if you have not already done so. If you were to file a bankruptcy petition the house may be lost but, you would likely owe on the child support just as you should for having children.

When you sell the house, all liens and mortgages must be paid. It does not matter who placed the lien on the property or what the lien is for.

The new owners must be presented a clear title prior to closing. They might have a mortgage for a loan they obtained to purchase the house.

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

'FIGHT ON"

You had the children, pay your child support and then you won't have to worry about the Lien....The Lien isn't on there because you are Parent of the Year!!!

If there is a Lien on your property it is because you are expected to help pay to help raise the children you help to create. It comes off when you are no longer in arrears.

I find it is disgusting that parents don't care about the fact that it is the children who suffer or do without...you aren't doing anything to your ex, you are doing it to the children....or course if you don't give a hoot about these kids that are yours, then hide and be a coward.

Sounds like when the house is sold, they'll take the amount of child support you owe right off the top, before you get a penny.

As they should.

when house sells she gets what u owe 4 child support. there is no way out of this unless u are caught up on your child support payments. when u don't pay child support... u are not hurting her....u are hurting your kids. think about it. & quit posting same question, it not gonna change how the system works for children's quality of life from deadbeats not paying up.

My adivice would be to pay your back child support. After you pay that in full, continue to pay for the children you sperminated. After you achieve that, enroll in college to improve your grammar, which may end your annoying habit of typing in ALL CAPS.
