My wife has full ownership of her property. Her x husband has decided that he wants several hundred thousand dollars on the sale of the property. The closing is Thursday. He apparently has registered a caution with the lawyer. What does this mean. We are moving, the new owners will be arriving, the bank has a huge line on the house. 3 properties are involved.

Can he actually place a lean on something he signed off on in the separation agreement?

thanks

He has to file suit and get a judgment to place a lien, but seeing as he already signed off during the separation agreement, I don't think he has much of a chance of winning a judgment.

It's "lien".

He has notified who's lawyer? Your's, the bank's, or the new owners'?

He can file a suit and if he does, it could hold up the sale. What lawyer did he contact? If there is a signed off agreement where he relinquished title, then I don't see where he has a leg to stand on.
