A charging order is a court‑issued lien on a debtor’s distributions from an LLC or partnership. It channels payments to satisfy a judgment rather than transferring ownership. The process involves court filings and notices, and outcomes vary by case.
Anyone with a valid judgment that includes a claim to a debtor’s LLC or partnership distributions can seek a charging order. Often this includes creditors or judgment holders, and sometimes assignees with lawful rights.
Charging orders generally affect distributions, not personal assets. However, some remedies may reach non-distribution assets through related procedures. We’ll explain options for your situation.
Timeline varies by court and complexity. A typical path includes petition filing, service, hearings, and potential enforcement actions that can span weeks to months.
Fees depend on case complexity and services needed. We provide a transparent fee structure and will discuss costs during your consultation.
We typically request ownership documents, distribution history, judgments, and contact information for the debtor to prepare the charging order case.
