Seller child support lein

I have a property under contract ($31k) with 9 heirs, one of them has a child support lein for about $55k. Is there a way for this heir to relinquish his rights to the property so we can wholesale it? I have a buyer ready at $37k,  but we don't know how to get around the child support lein. They want it paid in full before the sell. Any and all suggestions welcome.

@Spencer I. Honestly, if the lien is attached to the property you're trying to buy, it can only be cleared by being paid off or getting proof that it's already paid off. Sorry, but there's really no other way to get around that. I run into similar situations doing mortgage financing. 

If you have a title company involved, they can help determine if it's a legitimate lien.
