Yes. However, a lien on property does not by itself result in the immediate collection of any past due support. It only prevents the owner from selling, transferring, or borrowing against the property until the child support debt is paid. The presence of a property lien may encourage the non-custodial parent to pay the past due child support in order to retain clear title to the property. For assistance, contact your local child support enforcement office or a Customer Service Representative at 1-800-838-6911.
