In a divorce if both parties names are on the deed and one has a lien for childsupport can the other party be awarded the house and have the others name removed?

Re: Deed has both names on it

The name of the party against whom the lien has been recorded can be removed from the title to the property but the property will still be suject to the lien. The lien will need to be paid to transfer the property. In other words, that will not solve the problem. Since interest on the child support accrues at 10% and mortgages are much less you are probably best off to pay off the child support lien. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
