not if it's not in his name, since the house is in your name, hopefully he signed it over to you as sole and separate property, then i don't believe a lien can be placed on it, however, your paychecks can probably be garnished, i would ask a lawyer where you live.....good luck!

I don't know what state you live in, but I am a mortgage broker, and do loans in several states in the Northern Plains and Eastern Rockies. In every state except one, if you bought the home when you were married to him, someone absolutely can place a lien on because in all those states the husband is required by law to be on the deed. Possibly you are lucky enough to be in one of the other states, or maybe you were married after you bought. Call your local Title Co. They can tell you exactly who is on the deed if you aren't sure. If he is not on deed, there can be no lien in his name.

Short answer is most likely not. If the order for child support was entered before you bought the house and you can prove that it was YOUR money and not joint assets which bought it then the state will have a hard time proving it.
Just a word of warning though--There are some stupid judges out there who will liberally intepret the law foe thier own purposes.
Be careful

If his name isn't on it,there's a slim chance for a lien to be put on it,but check with a lawyer and be sure,Not all states are the same.

If you bought the house while married then it does not matter if only one persons name is on the title. He is also considered an owner.
You need to see a layer or experienced paralegal right away to get the title cleared up.
need help?

Depends on the laws in the state you live in. Also may depend on finances - whose funds bought the house and when.

If his name is'nt on it,it's not his house so no.I'd also make sure you have seperate bank accounts,so "Mr. Deadbeat" does'nt get your money taken also.

Once you add his name to your stuff it's his stuff then the state's stuff. DON'T DO IT, keep everything in your name.
