This bill amends section 42-371 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to modify the provisions regarding liens arising from child support orders. It introduces new language that specifies that judgments or orders for child support or spousal support create a lien on the debtor's real or personal property when payments are due, and this lien is extinguished upon payment. Additionally, it establishes that a current payment history from the Title IV-D Division of the Department of Health and Human Services serves as prima facie evidence that payments are current, which can release the lien for the purpose of transferring specific real property.

The bill also outlines the process for judgment creditors to release or subordinate liens if all payments are current, and it provides a mechanism for debtors to seek court relief if a creditor refuses to execute such a release. Furthermore, it clarifies that support order judgments will cease to be liens after ten years from certain specified events, and it details the priority of liens related to mortgages and personal property. The original section 42-371 is repealed, consolidating the updated provisions into the amended statute.
