Q: When do child support liens get taken?before board approval?or after board approval?
A: Not sure I understand your question but when a child support order is entered by the court and paid through the county probation department, if payments are not made, then periodically, the probation department will seek to have that amount of arrears reduced to judgement and it will show up as a lien. If payment is not made through the probation department, then you need to file an application with the court to have the court determine the amount of the unpaid child support arrears and then you can take that court order and have it recorded as a statewide lien.
