if a child support lien is placed on your home after it is under contract can you stop the sale to challenge the lien in court?

Already asked.

You've asked the same question 7 times!

HOW many times will you ask this before reading all the answers you got last time!

Doubtful, you have a legally binding contract you are obligated to fulfill. That lien is your problem, not the buyers'.

It depends on the specific situation. You will have to hire a lawyer. Nobody (not even a lawyer) can give you an answer based on just that one-sentence question.

No. The sellers lien is not a contingency of the contract making it a non-valid reason to void a contract, and the contract itself usually has an expiration date and language that demands you fulfill the contract before that date. But you can resolve the lien and then sue the party who issued it after the fact to recapture part or all of that money.

If I had to guess there is enough equity in the house to pay off the lien (if) the sale goes through and you had expected to use that equity as a down payment on another house.

You have asked this question over and over and (if) you don’t have a lawyer, then I strongly suggest you make an appointment with a lawyer in person and bring with you the copy of the lien and contract for the sale of the house for legal advice.

We are all strangers out here and only give our “opinion”, but we are (not) lawyers nor have the documents in front of us to give you the (correct) answer.

good luck

depends on state law ... ask your attorney. in some states, the lien would attach to the net proceeds of the sale, in others, it MIGHT have to be cleared [paid or revoked] in order for the sale to proceed.

Yes.

You can, subject to the forfeiture fees in the contract.
