My stepdaughter just received notice that a lien has been placed against the house that she lives in and holds title with her mother. The lien was placed by her exhusband's exgirlfriend whom he owes back child support to. The lien is for $16000.00. This house was purchased by my stepdaughter and her mother before she married her husband, in September of 2001. They were married in November of 2002 and divorced in June of 2004. The exhusbands name has never been on the title or the mortgage. What can she do about this and is this legal? I thought property you held before a marriage was considered sole and separate. Thanks!
