Legal Question in Construction Law in Kentucky

Re: Mechanics Lien

If the lien has been properly prepared and filed, it will create a lien on the property despite a divorce or subsequent liens, mortgages. You must however enforce it within a year of its filing or it expires. One thing does raise a question. You refer to the debtor as a "Sub-contractor". Are you a contractor and he owes you money on a job or did you do work on his house? You should have this reviewed by an attorney in your town. Your questions indicate that you are not familiar with liens, etc. These liens must be prepared in a specific way. The statute must be followed exactly. There are very specific time limits. Just filing a docment without taking other steps does not create a lien.
