Can the city of El Paso hold property till child support is payed?

A property is owned by numerous relatives because of a problem with a will. All owners have signed releases of ownership over to just one relative. This person is trying to sell the property. There is a buyer who wants to buy it. The title company who is handling the transaction has all of the release of ownership documents and they are all notarized. Here is the problem-One of the owners who signed release of ownership papers owes child support from a whiole back( approximately 15 years ago). The title company is saying the property can not be sold until the child support is payed. The seller of the property does not owe any child support. It is one of the relatives who signed release of ownership papers who owes child support. How can this be resolved so the property can sell?

This sounds like an issue to be settled in probate court perhaps.

The back child support owed causes the portion of the property owned by the person owing the child support to be Held in Trust by the district, this means he no longer has a legal right to the property, so he can't sign over his portion. He will have to contact the court that ordered the child support and ask that the trust be released, they are going to want proof that he will pay the child support due after the property sell's. Good Luck
