    How to avoid lien on new house? CA
    I'm paying support to a child I have no contact with. (sperm donation gone awfully bad because mother didn't keep her promises) An "abstract notice of support judgement" is recorded against me, and a lien was placed on my house without my notice. I have since sold the house, and I owe no arrears.

    Will another lien be slapped on my title if I purchase another house?:mad::mad::mad:

    Is there a way to avoid a lien?

    Do you owe arrears at this time ? Was there a lawyer used for your divorce / custody / support hearings ? Many lawyers slap it on in automatic fashion even if your not in arrears so since you cleared it with the last home and if your current with support now then its not likely they will but they can at any time so long as you owe child support.

    I am , and has been, current on my payments. As far as I understand your answer the county will be able to place a lien on my property for no reason whatsoever.

    What if the house is owned by a trust?

    Its not that they will.. Im saying that they can. Its not for " no reason whatsoever " its because of child support. The fact is that until the child is 18 you owe child support and that is the logic they can use to put a lien on. In some places its an almost automatic thing.

    It means nothing so long as your current.

    With respect to the trust type of ownership. What type of trust were you thinking about ?

    A family trust.

    Are you the one who will be heading the trust ? If so then they still may be able to because of your stake in the home.
