Section 45-10.2-64 - (703) Charging order1. On application by a judgment creditor of a partner or of a partner's transferee, and following notice to the partnership of the application, a court of competent jurisdiction may enter a charging order against the transferable interest of the judgment debtor for the unsatisfied amount of the judgment.2. A charging order constitutes a lien on the transferable interest of the judgment debtor and requires the partnership to pay to the person to which the charging order was issued any distribution that otherwise would be paid to the judgment debtor.3. The partner or transferee having a transferable interest subject to a charging order may extinguish the charging order by satisfying the judgment and filing a certified copy of the satisfaction with the court that issued the charging order.4. A partnership or partner having any transferable interest not subject to the charging order may pay the full amount due under the judgment to the judgment creditor and succeed to the rights of the judgment creditor, including the charging order.5. This chapter does not deprive any partner or transferee of the benefit of any exemption laws applicable to the transferable interest of the partner or transferee.6. This section provides the exclusive remedy by which a person seeking to enforce a judgment against a partner or transferee may satisfy, in the capacity of a judgment creditor, the judgment from the transferable interest of the judgment debtor. a. No other remedy, including foreclosure of the transferable interest or a court order for directions, accounts, and inquiries the debtor partner may have made, is available to the judgment creditor attempting to satisfy the judgment from the judgment debtor's interest in the partnership.b. No creditor of a partner or transferee has a right to obtain possession or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to property of the partnership.Amended by S.L. 2017, ch. 82 (SB 2223),§ 7, eff. 8/1/2017.
