LIENS FOR CHILD SUPPORT (Rule 1240-2-5-.16) CHAPTER 1240-2-5 STATE OF TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES Instructions for the Notice of Lien Purpose of This Form: 42 USC 654(9)(E) requires all IV-D programs to use the Notice of Lien form in interstate cases. IV-D programs may also use the form to impose liens in intrastate cases. This form may also be used for non-IV-D orders by an obligee or his or her private attorney. This form may be used to assert liens on assets discovered through the Financial Institution Data Match process. Please note that the expiration date on this form is the Office of Management and Budget expiration date, not the expiration date of the lien itself. Whose Laws Apply?: All aspects of this lien, including its priority and enforcement, are governed by the law of the State where the property is located. Issue the lien to secure debts for past-due support upon identifying, in another State, nonexempt real or personal property belonging to the obligor. The laws and procedures of the State where the property is located or recorded determine which office or entity in that State is the appropriate one to receive the lien for filing. It is the responsibility of the agency/office or private attorney issuing the lien to file it with the appropriate entity. Release of Lien: To release a previously-filed lien (e.g., upon receipt of full payment, or partial payment with an acceptable agreement to repay remaining balance, etc.,) the original issuing State shall use its existing local release of lien form. A copy of the release of lien should be provided to the obligor. Identify the lien to be released by including the recording information provided by the office or entity that filed the lien (Lien Recorder). The laws and procedures of the State where the lien is filed control the release of the lien. To complete this form: 1. At the top of the form, place the name, address, and fax number of the recorder (i.e., County Auditor, Clerk of Court, DMV, etc.) or asset holder (i.e., Financial Institution, Estate Executor, Trustee, etc.) to which you are sending the lien. NOTE: The procedures of the State where the property is located determine which person or entity in that State is the appropriate one to receive the lien for filing. It is the responsibility of the person/entity/agency submitting the lien to file/serve it correctly. 2. In the "OBLIGOR" field place the obligor's full name, address, date of birth (if known) and social security number (if known). Include known aliases or multiple social security numbers used by the obligor. 3. In the "OBLIGEE" field insert the obligee's full name. Note that the obligee may be the individual obligee, a public IV-D agency, or a private attorney, person or entity with a proper assignment from the individual obligee. 4. In the "IV-D Case #" field, enter the number/identifier identical to the one submitted on the Federal Case Registry, which is a left-justified 15-character alphanumeric field, allowing all characters except asterisk and backslash, and with all characters in uppercase. 5. In the space following "entered on", insert the date of entry of the order that is the basis for the lien. 6. In the space following "by", identify the tribunal that issued the support order that is being used to determine the amount of the lien. A tribunal is a court, administrative agency, or quasi-judicial entity that has the authority to establish, enforce, and modify child support obligations.
