Abstract § 1 — Coverage

Three courts, one certified answer

State

Superior Court of New Jersey

The statewide docket of money judgments and judgment liens — including child support judgments.

Federal

US District Court of New Jersey

Federal money judgments against the searched name that a state-only search would miss.

Federal

US Bankruptcy Court of New Jersey

Bankruptcy filings that bear directly on whether a judgment can be collected — or a closing can fund.

Abstract § 3 — Services

The searches on the order form

Judgment & Lien Search

Any liens or money judgments, including child support, filed against the requested name — located in minutes across all three covered courts.

Child Support Judgment Search

A certified report that helps attorneys satisfy the statutory requirement to search for child support judgments before releasing settlements, judgments, inheritance or other monetary awards.

Patriot Name Search

Add a Patriot name search to any order — the USA PATRIOT Act watchlist screen, run on the same name at the same time.

Suits as well as judgments?

A judgment search finds what's been won. An NJ litigation search finds what's still being fought — pending cases in federal and state court where your name appears as plaintiff or defendant.

Abstract § 4 — Questions

Frequently asked

What does the search cover?

Liens and money judgments — including child support judgments — filed against the requested name in the Superior Court of New Jersey, the US District Court of New Jersey and the US Bankruptcy Court of New Jersey.

How fast are results returned?

Our proprietary search runs against State Capital Title's own database and returns results in a matter of minutes.

Why do attorneys order child support judgment searches?

Before releasing settlements, judgments, inheritance or other monetary awards, attorneys must satisfy a statutory requirement to determine whether the beneficiary holds child support judgment obligations. Our certified report documents that check.

Can I get an update right before closing?

Yes — request a pre-closing update and we'll re-run the name to capture anything filed since your original search.

Who performs the search?
