42:1A-30. Orders charging transferable interests; effects

30. a. On application by a judgment creditor of a partner or of a partner's transferee, a court having jurisdiction may charge the transferable interest of the judgment debtor to satisfy the judgment. The court order charging the transferable interest of a partner or of a partner's transferee shall be the sole remedy of a judgment creditor, who shall have no right under this act or any other State law to interfere with the management or to force dissolution of the partnership or to seek an order of the court requiring a foreclosure sale of the transferable interest. The court may appoint a receiver of the share of the distributions due or to become due to the judgment debtor in respect of the partnership and make all other orders, directions, accounts, and inquiries the judgment debtor might have made or which the circumstances of the case may require.

b. A charging order constitutes a right to receive distributions made with respect to the judgment debtor's transferable interest in the partnership.

c. At any time before foreclosure, an interest charged may be redeemed: (1) by the judgment debtor;

(2) with property other than partnership property, by one or more of the other partners; or

(3) with partnership property, by one or more of the other partners with the consent of all of the partners whose interests are not so charged.

d. This act does not deprive a partner of a right under exemption laws with respect to the partner's interest in the partnership.

e. This section provides the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of a partner or partner's transferee may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtor's transferable interest in the partnership.
