child support question?
I hope someone can resolve this question.Me and my significant other have been together for 17years we are not legally married.We went to a tax auction in our state of washington state the pacific northwest.We bought property and put the property in both of our names.We just put the property up for sale.My question is my significant other owes back child support. His son is in college now but still owes back child support.I need to know if and when we sell this property will there be a lein on the property because his name is on the property as one of the owners.and will they take out the back child support when we sell the property.We are selling the property on our own but if the buyer wants to go through a title company will this back support be taken out.We live in western washington near seattle
The property has probably not been liened yet, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t.
First, has there been any enforcement actions on this child support case? That is to say, has he actually stood before a judge and heard “you WILL start paying the mother of your child the amount owed or you WILL lose your license or you WILL lose your tax refund check?” If he hasn’t, then liening is probably not in the works. If he has lost his license already, or he’s already had tax refund checks diverted to offset his child support obligation, then you may be closer to a lien.
In either case, he will be notified….whether it’s an offset, lien or contempt action, he will be notified so I think it’s safe to say that the property in question is free from liens pertaining to child support. If, however, the mother of his child hears of the proposed sale, she could spur the courts into some sort of action. And she should.
