I was divorced in 2003 and the judgement and lien was entered in 2005. When the lien was placed on my home, he was no longer on the deed. The judgement is for a credit card account he opened prior to the divorce being final, but without my knowledge and I was not on the account or ever notified of the account. My question is whether this is legal and what can I do about it (hopefully without an attorney).

I doubt the lien would be enforceable since he had no ownership interest in the house when judgement was entered, but I recommend consulting a lawyer, things things vary from state to state.

If the debt your ex applied for was opened AFTER date of separation, you have rights...Go to the courthouse request a hearing and prove your position.....Easy, intimidating but straightforward......
Then, file for a homestead exemption so no one can ever file a lien against your property.....
However, if you did not LEGALLY SEPARATIE, you may be in real need of an attorney....

If you can't afford an attorney go to Legal Aid in your city. They do it for very little or pro bono (free) when you finally see a lawyer make sure you have documentation to back up your version of the story otherwise you are wasting people's time.

Its NOT when the lein was made, its when the debt was made.
Leins come after a debt was made AND after the debt was due.
His name was probably on the deed at the time it was made &
your permission to enter into the ageement was not required.
Yes, its legal, but it doesn't mean anything has to be wrong.
You need to contact them for more information, they may not
have gotten any updated information since his address changed.

You should also called the company who placed the lien on your house and explain this to them.

examine your state regulation to be sure, yet often it may properly be finished. this signifies that the resources won't be able to be bought, until eventually the lien is chuffed. until eventually precise the lien is nice until eventually paid off.
