Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

Individual Claim of Lein

Hello

Thank you for having this service available.

First of all, I have a judgement against a client for a bad check she wrote me and I now see that her house is for sale. How would I go about filing a Lein against the property?

Secondly, My son's biological father has never really paid child support. I have the same scenario as above. He is selling his house and how do I file a Lein against him for the back child support that is ordered.

Thank you again,

Re: Individual Claim of Lein

Is there anyone else other than the respective debtor's listed on the title the the real property you want to file a lien against? There are other ways to get money from a debtor besides a lien, wage garnishments, executions against other assests such as bank accounts, tax returns, investment accounts. I may be able to help you. If you would like to discuss this in further detail, call me at 586-979-7302. Good Luck.

Re: Individual Claim of Lein

You should file a writ of execution on both judgments. They first attempt to execute against personal property (if you read the form). I would go before the court and explain the circumstances and attempt to get a court order allowing you to file a writ of execution against the realty immediately, due to the circumstances. You will probably get it and get paid. Bill Stern 248-353-9400
