Existing Judgment - future property purchase


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado

I have a judgment for unpaid child support recorded at the County Clerk's office. I know this results in a lien on ex's current home, but he's planning on purchasing a new home and renting out the existing one. Will this result in a lien against both properties or will I need to re-record the judgment after he purchases another property? i.e., does an existing recorded judgment automatically result in a lien against future purchased property?

ThanksWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Make sure the judgment is recorded in the land deed records of the county where the ex-spouse is planning to buy real estate.

The judgment is recorded in the county in which both the existing and new property exist. (Same county). So, I assume the recorded judgment results in liens against both property that was owned at the time the judgment was recorded AND any property purchased in the future? (that's my real question...)

Thanks

You need to get the court to order the lien on each property (after it is acquired).
One thing that the judgement will do by virtue of being recorded is that it will show up on credit checks which will make it more difficult for him to obtain financing with it pending.
