The answer depends on what your divorce decree states and to whom the real esatet was awarded. The order would control.
There is no basis to place a lien on a home without a judgement.

No, in California this matter would have to be handled by the Family Law Court which would have jurisdiction over the issue. You cannot independently put a lien on such a former asset previously adjudicated in your divorce action unless there are new, previously unknown justifications for doing so. You should recontact your divorce lawyer about your claims.
