Lien on Property

[i]Originally posted by DA1[/i] [br]My ex wife and I are remarrying soon. In the years we were divorced, she remarried and I was stupid and let her then husband use 2 of my credit cards to buy a pool and others things. He has always made the payments as agreed but now that their divorce is final, I havent seen any payments. My question is: can I put a lien on his property to try and recoup my money? If so, how do I go about this? Thanks

forgot to include the amount he owes me is around 5500.00

If you do not have a written agreement, there is a small chance you may be able to enforce an oral agreement in small claims court, however it is not likely.
