A charging order is a court order that directs a company to pay a creditor from a member’s distributions.
In California, the way distributions are handled depends on your operating agreement and the entities’ structure, so professional guidance matters.
A charging order creates a lien on distributions, not an ownership transfer, so payments go to the creditor while the member retains ownership.
Typical steps include reviewing the operating or partnership agreement, evaluating distributions, filing the right petitions, and negotiating or pursuing remedies through the courts.

A charging order is a court-issued lien that directs distributions to be paid to a judgment creditor rather than to the member until the debt is resolved. It does not transfer ownership, so the member retains membership rights while payments are redirected.
Distributions may be redirected to satisfy the creditor, potentially reducing cash flow for the member. Operating agreements may also limit or specify how distributions are allocated and protected.
The operating agreement sets rules for distributions and ownership, influencing how charging orders operate. We review it to determine scope and remedies.
