LB 1139 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change provisions relating to liens arising from child and spousal support orders

Nebraska's LB 1139 amends laws governing liens from child and spousal support orders. It clarifies that current support payments (verified by the Title IV-D Division) automatically release property liens, eliminating the need for court action when payments are up-to-date. If a support creditor refuses to release a lien despite current payments, the debtor can seek court approval for release or subordination after providing proof of payment. The bill also sets a 10-year expiration for these liens (from when support ends or the last collection attempt), and establishes procedures for handling disputes over lien releases. This directly affects individuals owing support (who face property liens) and those receiving support (who manage lien enforcement).
