Can a lawsuit judgment and attorney fees incurred by a spouse be enforced as a lien against a home that is solely owned by the non debtor spouse?

In: Law and Legal Issues, Lawsuits

[Edit]

Answer

Yes/no if house is only in your name depending on what the judgment is for, pertaining to anything you did together.

If the property was obtained during the marriage and the couple reside in a community property state, then a lien is possible. If the couple do not reside in a CP state a lien is not possible regardless of when the property was purchased.
