Re: Lien
If there is not a judgment then there can likely be no lien, unless this is what is commonly called a "mechanic's lien". Liens are generally placed against property and then only after a judgment and proper recording with the clerk.
If the claim against your husband has not been reduced to judgment then he should work to avoid one. Is the case still pending? Is this lien related to your business lease? If not then it should not have any impact on your lease. However, it could impact any financial interest he has in your business.
Whether your husband has any valid defenses to the lien can easily be determined by an attorney after being presented with all of the facts.
