A: Selling a house with a child support lien can be legally complex. As your daughter's power of attorney, you can facilitate the sale of the property in Arizona. Negotiating with the ex-boyfriend is a potential solution. If he agrees to sell, you can work out an arrangement for his portion of the sale proceeds to go toward his child support lien. This may require legal documentation and oversight. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.

A: I would think the attorney would be able to figure it out. They would need a contract, dividing the proceeds and ensuring that the child support is paid off.
