In a charging order against a partner, what does the creditor typically obtain?

• A. Management rights to run the partnership.
• B. Distributions, not management rights.
• C. The right to dissolve the partnership.
• D. The partner's entire ownership interest transferred.

Answer: (B)

A charging order against a partner targets the partner’s right to receive distributions from the partnership, not the partner’s ownership or the partnership’s management. The creditor becomes entitled to payments that would otherwise go to the debtor partner, up to the amount of the judgment, but the debtor remains a partner with their voting and control rights intact and the partnership continues its business. This means the remedy is constrained to distributions rather than transferring ownership, dissolving the partnership, or giving the creditor management authority. The partnership’s structure and operation stay the same; only the flow of distributions to the creditor is affected.
