Order unanimously affirmed, without costs. Memorandum: In 1982 petitioner represented respondent in an action for divorce and was never paid $2,459 in attorney's fees. Pursuant to the settlement of that action, respondent continues to own an undivided one-half interest in the marital residence. In 1983, respondent's debts, including petitioner's attorney's fees, were discharged in bankruptcy. Petitioner now seeks to impress a lien against the marital residence pursuant to Judiciary Law § 475. Special Term properly dismissed the petition. Since respondent already owned the marital residence, no proceeds were created and thus no charging lien attaches to this realty.
