Question: Real Estate - Connecticut

Asked on 11/4/2009

Lien on house due to non-payment of child support

Due to illness, my fiance has not been able to pay child support. His ex advised the state and they have put a lien against your house. What can we do?

You did not actually state a question. If you are wondering whether your fiance's child support obligations could result in a lien against a home you both own, the answer is yes. His assets--which includes his interest in the house, if you both are owners--is subject to liens to satisfy debts and judgments.

Going forward, if your fiance has a substantial debt or obligation, it would be better to keep finances and assets separate, so your finances and assets are not impacted by his obligations.
