Alimony

[Lee_Rosen]

You can have the alimony arrearage reduced to judgment and the judgment will become a lien against his home. You can also obtain a judgment for the attorney fees you incur in having him held in contempt for non-payment. Good luck.

My X husband was ordered by court to pay alimony of $400.00 a month for four years. He is over a year behind on the last 5 payments. Can I put a lien on his home? How do I go about doing that in Gaston County? I cannot afford to take him to court for the rest…and if I do, the lawyer will end up getting most of it. Are there any other options? He said I will have to take him to court to see the rest of my money. He refuses to pay it. Thank you for your time.
