After much leg work on MY part, the county actually produced documents showing that Ms. Child Support Payee did NOT respond to the certified mail sent by the county to her regarding the judgement she had placed on Mr. Two Owners Ago CS Payor shortly before the tax foreclosure auction on said property.
Interestingly enough, it very much appears that Ms. CS Payee does NOT have custody of her children anymore from social media. She would be the type I would think twice about renting to as her social media shows a narcissist to the power of ten.
Finally the court coughs up the needed documents and I copy in my attorney. Will be closing shortly now BUT going forward and having had the wonderful experience of DH's moneygrubbing ex-shrew to contend with as regards CS, I've heard horror stories where CS judgements appear out of nowhere even though they were paid in full. If you can't PROVE you paid it in full 10, 20, 30 years ago to the local Child Support Enforcement Unit, and they have purged their records, you're SOL and some have had to pay it all over again. This is mostly because the local CSEUs get federal incentive money to collect as much CS as possible due to Title IV of the Social Security Act (thanks Clintons)
I have (naturally) kept a copy of the records sent by the court specifically showing that Ms. CS Payee did NOT respond to the notifications. I will definitely get title insurance and discuss with my lawyer how to possibly further protect myself.
