GEORGE W. DRAPER III, Judge.
I respectfully dissent. The trial court here issued an overall judgment for periodic maintenance which included a statement of arrearage for past due maintenance. Section 454.515 RSMo (2000) allows for family court judgments to be recorded as liens upon which past due monetary judgments may be collected. Therefore, I see no reason for this Court to hold that a discrete portion of an entire judgment should be ascertainable in and of itself as a general judgment which is then capable of being re*704corded as a lien immediately upon entry pursuant to Rule 74.08.
