A charging order is a court-issued claim that gives a creditor the right to receive distributions payable to a debtor member or partner. It does not transfer ownership. This remedy is designed to help creditors collect amounts while the underlying dispute is resolved. In California, the process requires careful timing and proper filings to protect both sides’ interests.
Typically, a judgment creditor or someone with a recognized claim may seek a charging order. California rules govern who may file, what notices must be given, and how the court reviews the request. Our firm explains eligibility and helps you prepare a strong, compliant filing.
A charging order restricts distributions to the debtor, not ownership of the LLC or partnership. Ownership remains with the member or partner; the creditor’s right is limited to distributions as allowed by the order and applicable law.
Timeline varies by case complexity, court schedules, and whether disputes emerge. Simple motions may be resolved in weeks, while broader proceedings can take months. We strive for efficient progress without sacrificing the protections you rely on.
Costs include attorney fees, court fees, and potential expert filings. We discuss expected costs up front and look for efficient paths to achieve your goals while avoiding unnecessary steps.
