What if the non-paying parent owns property?

We can have a lien placed on the property as soon as possible. Then, we can obtain a court order to have the property sold to satisfy the child support arrearage. Generally, the non-paying parent will pay the arrearage to avoid losing his or her property. Common debtor protections (i.e. homestead exemptions) do not apply in child support cases.
