Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(1) Upon a
delinquency under a child support order for which the department is or has
been providing child support enforcement services, a lien arises upon and
attaches to the real and personal property of an obligor. When the amount of
the lien is equal to or greater than the total support owing for at least
ninety (90) days, or two thousand dollars ($2,000), whichever is less, the
lien may be perfected by a filing with the office of the secretary of state. A
perfected lien shall include all subsequently arising delinquencies. When a
lien has been perfected pursuant to this section and the underlying
delinquency reaches a zero balance or is otherwise satisfied, the lien is
automatically released. Any support order or decree issued or modified after
the effective date of this act shall include a provision notifying the obligor
that a lien will arise automatically upon a delinquency. A notice of release
of lien shall be filed pursuant to section 45-1908, Idaho Code.
(2) A lien arising out of a child support order or delinquency under the
laws of another state shall be given full faith and credit as if the lien
arose out of a child support order or delinquency under Idaho law.
(3) The department shall notify each obligor by certified mail of the
filing of the lien at the same time the notice is delivered to the secretary
of state. No such lien may be enforced until ten (10) days after notice of the
filing of the lien has been given to the obligor.
