What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa
I have been done paying child support since 2008 and now want to sell a piece of farmland. When I went to sell I found out that there is a lien that was still at the courthouse that needed to be removed first. Since the lien was placed to make sure that Child support was all paid I have to have my ex sign a satisfaction of judgement but she will not because she says that I still owe money to her from 2004 for medical expenses for my son, I do not. She just is taking a last ditch effort to get money from me because she knows I inherited this land. She says I owe her money but won't give an amount. She has 30 days to sign or it will go to a hearing. She is costing me ALOT of money,lawyer fees, interest and possibly a business venture. Is there a law that permits the defendant to pursue the actual damages that he or she suffered from the plaintiff for failing to provide the required satisfaction of judgment if he or she had no just cause in not providing it upon request?
