(1) On application to a court of competent jurisdiction by a judgment creditor of a member, referred to in this section as the “judgment debtor,” the court may charge the financial interest of the judgment debtor with payment of the unsatisfied amount of the judgment, with interest (referred to in this section as a “charging order”). To the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the rights of an assignee of the financial interest, however, the judgment creditor shall have no rights to bring a proceeding under Article 11 of this chapter. This article does not deprive any judgment debtor of the benefit of any exemption laws applicable to the judgment debtor’s financial interest.

(2) A charging order constitutes a lien on the judgment debtor’s financial interest.

(3) The entry of a charging order is the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of a judgment debtor or its assignee may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtor’s financial interest.

(4) No creditor of a judgment debtor or its assignee shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the limited liability company.

(5) The chancery court shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any matter relating to any such charging order.
