First Lien Rule in Annuity and Divorce Judgments
Supreme Court rules an annuity judgment is a definite lien on a husband’s property once transcript is filed in the county of ownership. Minerva Jackson’s divorce in Douglas County yields a $15 monthly alimony for a five year old daughter, filed in McPherson County. A mortgage lender’s attempt to defeat the lien by foreclosing failed. The court notes a boy’s future majority supports the lien’s definite amount despite age of the younger child. Alfred C. Waton’s bid for a share of land profits with George W. Porter failed in the supreme court.
