Can you buy a home if you owe your ex spouse money for child support?
July 31st, 2009
My boyfriend and I are trying to buy a home, but before we buy one, I want to know if his child support payment problem will come into play and cause a problem for us. He owes his wife past due money on child support, not on his current child support. Can that affect our loan, like if we can lose the house or if like she can have a lien put on it? And if so does it mean we lose the house?

It shows up as a non-dischargeable debt on his credit, so it can affect get any type of loan. He needs to get it paid up as it’s also collecting interest penalties as high as 10% compounded interest and there’s no statute of limitations on collect.
