What is the name of your state? Arizona

My ex husband owes $22,000.00 in back support so I put a lean on his house so if he sells it I will get the back support. He also got married 5 yrs ago. Because of the lean on his house he did a quick-claim deed to his new wife where he gave it to her for $10.00 dollars.Is there anything I can do to get that voided or any other advice would be helpfull.What is the name of your state?

The lien is still on the house. A quit claim deed does NOT get rid of liens. The liens transfer with the house.

I made a mistake on my information. I should of wrote this.
Obligor has a judgment against him in the amount of $22,000.00 for back child support. Two months after the judgment was recorded, the obligor, a home owner, completed a quick-claim deed transferring ownership of his home to his wife. The wife then refinanced the home, twice, taking a total amount of equity out of the home equaling $75,000.00. Neither obligor nor his wife made any payments towards the judgment. Question, is the home still considered community property? Am I able to place a lien on the property for the judgment amount? If so how would I go about that? Any help on this would be helpful.

Then you have a problem. You have a judgment and not a lien? You probably cannot put a lien on the house without a lot more work.

Did you docket the judgement? Is there actually a lien? Have YOU double checked the Register of Deeds postings in the county in which the real estate sits to be certain the lien appears of record against his legal description/name in a search there?
