A charging order is a court-created lien that affects distributions from an LLC or partnership to a member or partner who owes money.
This service involves evaluating ownership, targeting protection for distributions, preparing petitions, and negotiating with creditors while complying with California law.
In California, charging orders limit a member’s or partner’s right to receive distributions until a debt is resolved. They do not automatically transfer management rights; they focus on cash flow from the entity.
We begin by mapping ownership interests, identifying distributions, and assessing whether a charging order is the most effective remedy. We then prepare filings, respond to challenges, and monitor enforcement, all with an eye toward protecting ongoing operations.

A charging order is a court order that directs distributions from an entity to the debtor, rather than directly seizing assets. In California, this remedy focuses on cash flow from the LLC or partnership and does not automatically transfer control of the entity. Outcomes depend on the debtor’s ownership, the entity’s operating agreement, and court rulings; an attorney can help tailor strategy, protect distributions, and pursue appropriate relief.
Timing depends on court calendars, complexity, and any defenses raised. In California, steps may include service, responses, hearings, and potential appeals. A consultation can provide a clearer timeline based on your specific facts.
Yes, negotiations can preserve some distributions or set up structured payments. We help negotiate terms that align with your goals while complying with law.
Common defenses include improper service, lack of ownership interest, or that a charging order is not the appropriate remedy for the entity. A careful factual and legal review helps determine the best approach.
