Re: child support

If you have the original judgment it should be reasonably

easy to obtain a judgment against your husband. I would

need additional information from you to give you any

additional help. I can be contacted at 805-546-9918 or by email

at [email protected]. Of course the consultation is

free. Good luck.

Re: child support

To place a lien on his property you must have a valid judgment ordering the payment child support. Obtain a certified copy of the child support order and record it with the county recorder.

Then contact an attorney regarding obtaining a judgment as to the amount due. Then take steps to collect. The steps taken will depend upon the circumstances of your case and his financial circumstances.
