Judgment creditors frequently encounter difficulties enforcing their judgments against debtors, particularly those in distressed circumstances. A recent decision by the Court of Appeals of Ohio in 'Wulco v. The O'Gara Group & Monroe Capital Partners Fund' involved a battle between a judgment creditor and a UCC secured creditor, each seeking to obtain funds in a debtor's bank account. The court examined not only the relative rights of the creditors as to those funds, but also whether a court clerk to whom the funds were transferred (as part of garnishment proceedings) could be a "transferee" under Section 9-332 of the Uniform Commercial Code, thereby stripping away any prior security interest.

In this three-part series, Gus Dimopoulos uses recent decisions such as Kassenoff v. Kassenoff and Walsh v. Russell to discuss the detrimental effects of social media on children in divorce cases and the importance the above rulings have on protecting children of divorcing parents. This final part looks at what's being done to stop harmful content at its source, and how the New York court administration should make the benefits of recent holdings available to all divorce litigants and their children through standing, automatic orders precluding disparaging posts about the parties and their children.
