Heading: did the lower court err in imposing an equitable lien against the homestead of the parties.

Text: Crystal Dudley maintains that the lower court was in error when it impressed an equitable lien against her personally and against the homestead of the parties. Ms. Dudley asserts that the superior financial position of David Dudley should render him personally liable for the $50,000.00 debt. Crystal Dudley cites no authority to support her position on appeal. She does, however, argue that the chancellor, under the facts presented at trial, erred when he failed to find David Dudley responsible for the debt at issue. Crystal asserts that David was less than candid with the lower court concerning his actual financial status. The lower court was correct in granting an equitable lien against David and Crystal Dudley and against the homestead of the parties. Neyland v. Neyland is ample precedent for the chancellor's ruling and rightly protects the lender.
