Garton v. Garton

NEUMAN, Justice.

This is a dispute among creditors over their right to claim some portion of defendant Richard Garton’s inheritance. Plaintiff Cynthia Garton, Richard’s former wife, petitioned for a creditor’s bill lien to enforce her judgment for unpaid spousal and child support. Ruling by way of summary judgment, the district court found that Cynthia’s lien against Richard’s beneficial interest was inferior to claims already established in the proceeds by Richard’s other creditors, defendants George R. Haydon, Jr. and Security State Bank. We affirm.
