A charging order is a court order that directs an entity to pay a debtor’s share of distributions to a judgment creditor. It limits payments until the judgment is addressed, while allowing the company to continue operating in many cases.
Who can file depends on the nature of the judgment and the debtor’s ownership in the LLC or partnership. Typically a judgment creditor or their attorney files the request, with court involvement.
A charging order can restrict distributions but may not stop all business activities. The impact depends on the entity’s structure and governing documents.
Reversals are possible in certain circumstances, such as improper service or mistaken filings, but court approval is required.
Processing times vary by court and complexity, but prompt action often leads to a faster resolution.
You may need operating agreements, member lists, financial statements, and court documents to support the filing.
LLCs and partnerships have different rules for charging orders. The exact remedy depends on entity type and governing documents.
Debtors may have rights to notice, due process, and opportunities to challenge the order depending on jurisdiction and case facts.
