If a lien is put on a home during a divorce and the home gets foreclosed on, who pays the lien.?

When I divorced my ex husband I put a lien on the home for my half of the equity I was to receive. The home went into forelosure and the lien was never paid. Who will be responsible for the lien or will it go away not that he no longer owns the home?

Answers:
Usually, the mortgage is paid first, taxes paid second, leins paid third. If the house was jointly owned by the two of you, depending on the laws of your state, you could be partially responsible for paying your own lein!!

so . . .half of nothing is still nothing. Sorry.

The foreclosing bank/credit union, etc. is reponsible for the lien. Check with the bank who held the mortgage as you would not receive funds until the home is sold.
