Escrow & Liens |
| Escrow companies play a critical role in the collection of child support. Child Support agencies throughout California are required to file liens and abstracts of judgment in all cases, where there is an active child support obligation. When the support obligor purchases, sells or refinances real estate, these abstracts and liens ensure the obligor's support obligation takes precedence, and their children benefit in some manner from the transaction. |
