A charging order is a court order allowing a creditor to receive distributions from the debtor’s LLC or partnership interest. It does not transfer ownership, and it typically keeps the entity operating while directing funds to satisfy a judgment.
Any judgment creditor with a valid claim and proper standing can seek a charging order, subject to applicable rules and state laws.
Timeline varies by case complexity and court calendars, but you can expect several weeks to several months for filings and hearings.
Costs include filing fees, attorney fees, and potential costs for enforcement actions, discussed upfront.
Charging orders focus on distributions, not ownership or control, unless other remedies are pursued.
Multiple creditors may share available distributions, requiring careful coordination and priority rules.
Other options include judgments liens, wage garnishment where allowed, or negotiated settlements.
A charging order affects the right to distributions, not the ownership itself, and may not change who runs the entity.
