1997 Alaska Statutes
Title 25 MARITAL AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS
Chapter 25.27. CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY
Sec. 25.27.230. Assertion and recording of lien.
(a) At the expiration of 30 days after (1) the date of distribution of an income withholding order under AS 25.27.062 ; (2) the date of service of a notice and finding of financial responsibility under AS 25.27.160 ; or (3) the date of service of a decision establishing paternity under AS 25.27.165 , the agency may assert a lien upon the real or personal property of the obligor in the amount of the obligor's liability.
(b) A lien recorded under this section has no effect against earnings, or bank deposits or balances, unless it states the amount of the obligor's liability under this chapter and unless the lien is served in accordance with AS 25.27.240 .
(c) The lien shall attach to all real and personal property of the obligor and be effective on the date of recording of the lien with the recorder of the recording district in which the property attached is located. A lien against earnings shall attach and be effective upon filing with the recorder of the recording district in which the employer does business or maintains an office or agent for the purpose of doing business. A lien filed at the offices of the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission in Juneau against a limited entry permit issued under AS 16.43 is considered to have been filed against the permit in all recording districts in which the permit holder uses the permit.
(d) Whenever a lien has been recorded under this section and there is in the possession of any person, political subdivision, or department of the state having actual notice of the lien any property that may be subject to the lien, that property may not be paid over, released, sold, transferred, encumbered, or conveyed unless
(1) a written release or waiver signed by a representative of the agency has been delivered to the person, political subdivision, or department of the state; or
(2) a decision has been made in a hearing held under AS 25.27.170 or by a superior court ordering release of the lien on the grounds that no debt exists or that the debt has been satisfied.
