A charging order is a court order directing a LLC or partnership to pay distributions to a judgment creditor. This tool does not transfer ownership but can affect payments to the owner. If you’re considering this option, speak with a California attorney to understand eligibility, timing, and how exemptions or operating agreements may apply.
Anyone with a valid judgment that targets an owner’s distributions can pursue a charging order, but it does not automatically seize ownership. We’ll review the ownership structure and advise how California law handles notices, service, and potential defenses in San Dimas.
Having multiple owners can complicate enforcement because distributions and voting rights may be governed by operating agreements. We help identify who is subject to the order and how to minimize disruption to the business while pursuing recovery.
Processing time varies by court schedules and the complexity of the case. We provide a clear timeline and keep you informed at each stage.
Yes. Settlements, stipulations, or negotiated agreements can resolve a charging order without ongoing enforcement. We assist with negotiation, document drafting, and ensuring the final agreement protects your interests.

Courts issue and enforce charging orders, and court rules guide timing and procedures. We guide you through filings, hearings, and monitoring to ensure compliance.
Settlement outside of court is possible with agreement between parties. We help draft and document any settlement to protect both sides’ interests.
Enforcement can affect cash flow, but strategic planning can minimize disruption. We coordinate with business operations to keep the company running while pursuing recovery.
