Upcoming Foreclosures

HELP!!! His house is REO, but he keeps telling me that he is selling????

I have an ex who owes me $31,000 in back child support. He owned a home,which I had a lien placed on it, and it was foreclosed on, now Bank Owned. He wanted to work out a deal with me to give me a lump sum of $20,000 and wipe out the other $11,000. However I have found out about the foreclosure and I told him "how in the heck are you going to sell a house and give me $20,000 when your home is now bank owned!!!" Of course he keeps trying to convince me that it is working out. I am going nuts. Why would he even bother to keep trying to work out a deal with me, considering my child support lien was wiped out when the home was returned to the lender??? Is there something I do not know about with the lien? I don't mean to sound stupid, but can someone please try to help me figure out what is going on?? Is there a catch. Didn't I get screwed when he foreclosed?I just do not see what he has to gain. I would SO appreciate some serious input. Thanks in advance!

2. I would see a lawyer if you can afford it. Don't let him get away, he may be playing broke and claiming bankruptcy to get away from his responsibilities. There are also some websites that you can talk to a lawyer for free...google it...I think something will come up for you. GOOD LUCK
3. The lien is still attached to him. Not that he isn't screwed in other ways. But, he wants it off of his credit report, employers see it as well as creditors. You need to start garnishing his wages, he is not going to support his children willingly.
4. He is bullshitting you my lady, dontcha fall for his crap!
