If a spouse requests it, the court may issue a lien against the property of the other spouse in an effort to secure payment of the debts that the court orders the spouse to pay. This may be done to secure the payment of specific types of debt, including:

• Interest or equity that one spouse has in the property
• Community debts required to be paid by the spouses by the court
• Child support
• Spousal maintenance

Any property owned jointly, which is not included in the settlement provisions, will be held in joint ownership. This means that both spouses will maintain half ownership or interest in the property. Additionally, the final decree or judgment will describe, in legal terms, the property affected by the provisions (including prospective and retrospective operation to property).
