How does a lien on real estate work in securing a settlement payment for the non-retaining spouse?
A lien can be placed on the property to secure the settlement payment, ensuring that the non-retaining spouse has a legal claim to the owed amount. This lien remains until the settlement is fully paid, providing security if the retaining spouse defaults. In case of default, the non-retaining spouse can enforce the lien, potentially leading to foreclosure or forcing a sale to recover the owed amount.
