Re: putting a lien on someone property

Obtain an execution from the Court that entered the Judgment and arrange to have the Deputy Sheriff's Office in the County where your step son lives levy the execution as a lien against such real estate as he owns in the County Registry of Deeds. If he owns no real estate you must commence a Supplementary Process action against him to have him summonsed before the Court to be examined as to his financial ability to pay the Judgment and obtain an order that he do so. Good Luck!
