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.
