A charging order is a court order that directs distributions from an LLC or partnership to a judgment creditor until the judgment is satisfied. It does not cancel the debtor’s ownership, but it limits how distributions are paid while the matter is unresolved.
Who can obtain a charging order? Generally, any judgment creditor with a valid California judgment asserting a right to collect from distributions may pursue a charging order. The specifics depend on the ownership structure and entity type.
Timelines for charging order actions vary by case and court, but common steps include obtaining a judgment, filing the order, serving parties, and expecting potential hearings. Delays can arise from defenses or appeals.
A charging order is not guaranteed to be available in every case. Defenses, priority disputes, and statutory limits can affect whether a charging order is granted or enforced.
Costs can include court filing fees, attorney fees, and service costs. Some cases may be pursued on contingency, depending on the agreement and local practice.
Yes, charging orders can apply to partnership interests, but the rules vary by entity and state. Our team can review your structure and advise on options.

Priority is determined by the order of judgments, liens, and the timing of enforcement actions. We help you understand how priority affects your case.
