Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
I have been divorced for almost a year. I have agreed to a settlement that has not been signed off by the judge. The settlement was 120000.00 cash and 1200 a month in spousal support. The cash came thru but the monthly support has not. I have received nothing on that for 2 months. Can I put a lien on his property for the alimony?

Under Nevada law, after the Court enters a judgment, it can be used to create a judgment lien securing an award of spousal support. Your attorney can explain further.
Not quite as simply as the question asks. Normally, arrears would have to be reduced to judgment, and then collected, by whichever means seemed appropriate, including perhaps executions against assets. For some background, see:
