Toledo, OH asked in Real Estate Law for Ohio

Q: Had submitted once - guess I need to be more concise.

A lien was placed on our home for tile work that my husband did

Neither of us had any knowledge of this lien until I went to refinance.

My husband and I went through a dissolution (last year) - never knew about this lien then.

Is there a statute of limitations on how long this lien remains - was placed December 2015.

What are my ex-husband's rights in regards to this lien when he never received any notification of this.

A: You will need to have a local attorney review the lien and advise you. As previously discussed, how to resolve it might depend on your separation agreement from the dissolution. A judgment lien or a mechanic's lien from 2015 would not have expired yet.
