I had loaned a family friend some money 6 years ago ($29,000 )to buy equipment for her husband as he started a business. I loaned the money directly to her while they were married and not to her husband’s business or to her husband. Now they are going through a bitter divorce . I realized I may not get my money back. I reminded her about the loan and she said her husband has no intentions of paying back the loan , even though it was for his business. When she asked him he said that he will not be held liable since he did not get the loan directly from me. So she has asked me to put a lien on the house that she owns. She has four kids and I do not want her to pay from her share of the home’s sale. What kind of lien should I file so that the loan gets paid before the money is split and they are paid their share from the sale. We both live in cook county.

We have owned our home for 6 years and have put in over $150K into the house in improvements. There is a brand new 2nd story addition, new windows, new siding, new roof, new deck, new driveway, and a new kitchen. We have done all the things realtors tell you to do in order to sell and nothing has worked. Not even baking bread before potential buyers come over. We live in the suburbs of Chicago, in a good neighborhood, very close to a good grade school and on a very quiet street.
We have also lowered our price to a basically “break even” point. So its not like were trying to make a bunch of money.
So why won’t this house sell?
