(a) The agency shall assert a lien upon the real or personal property of the obligor in the amount of the obligor's liability if an arrearage occurs under a support order being enforced by the agency.
(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.

(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.
