After a certified letter is mailed requesting the satisfaction of the judgment, a Motion is filed to satify the judgment and remove the lien. Please contact our office for consultation and review of your documentation.

Advise her by certified mail that you intend to sue her for clouding the title on your property and not recording a release of lien. Give her a short time period to get this done, ie., 10 days and then sue her. Don Holben 800-685-6950

Hire an attorney to file a motion to expunge. Our rates are very reasonable -- they can't be beaten.
Re: lien removal
First, I would like to apologize for the solicitation you received in the first response to your inquiry. We are not supposed to make such solicitations. In fact, I am thinking of leaving the list of attorneys, this having become such a common practice. In answer to your question: You may bring a suit for an order for your husband's ex to remove the lien, and there may be a further order that she pay your expenses including attorney's fees. The total cost of any such procedure would be the filing fee, approximately Two hundred dollars ($200.00), and attorney's fees of approximately One thousand dollars ($1,000.00). You have a right to so proceed.
