How do I place a Lien (not contractor's) on x-husband's property?

As part of my divorce settlement my x-husband is supposed to pay me a one time payment which he has not done. His San Diego home is up for sale and he has an offer on it. I would like to know how I can place a lien on his property so that when it is sold, I get paid from the proceeds. I know that he owns the property clean and free and the amount that he owes me is not even 1% of what he will get. How do you recommend that I proceed?

File a copy of the marital settlement agreement with the county recorders office or contact an attorney for a possible lis pendens on the property until the issue can be sorted out.
