House Lein?

Does anyone know if you can or how to put a lien on a house for arrearages? He is 40k behind and has refinanced twice to get cash out and we haven't seen a penny.

Have you attempted to file contempt? Is he current now and paying arrearages? The reason I ask is that you could put a lien on his home but you won't see a penny until he sells the home...If he is held in contempt of court you may start to see the money faster...

You have to sue the owners of the land and get a judgment against them before you can get a lien on their land.

He was found in contempt . He is not paying current or arrears. Nothing. Since he has refinanced twice and gotten cash out i thought a lein would certainly send up a flag when he tries it the 3rd time. Have heard with leins it is not necessary to "sell" but can get the same results with a refinance. Trying to figure out how to do this w/o paying lots more to atty.

Did he have to purge himself? If he isn't paying, file contempt again... As for the other matter…Yes, if the house has a lien on it he will not be able to refinance again(unless the debt is paid off), but if he just refinanced how long do you thing it will take before the value of the home goes up for him to be able to refinance again (get cash out)? Is he in a rapidly increasing property value area?
