A charging order is a court-ordered lien that directs a debtor’s distributions from an LLC or partnership to be paid to a judgment creditor.
It affects ownership rights and future profits, and knowing how this remedy works helps you assess risk and plan strategies.
Under California law, a charging order serves as a lien on the debtor’s right to distributions, not on the debtor’s entire ownership. It may limit distributions until the debt is satisfied.
Key elements include a valid judgment, the debtor’s distributions from the LLC or partnership, and the court procedures required to obtain and enforce the order.
