The clerks told me I couldn’t step aside to gather information, then a Caucasian female, was able to go outside and leave her things at the window, leave and come back to the same woman , and it was 4pm closing time, already! Amazing, by the way, I’m African American, & so is she! I’m so angry and upset

I just filed on the 22nd of Nov, last week, because my angry and mad but good, cute and buff husband Antonio P. that I really love told me to and want to have a baby with him, but since my dad just divorced my mom, Esther Serrano, my mom to join the club, since she hates my husband ;( and divorce him, I also got a temp restraining order, by K. Cooley and O. Martinez lol same day, crazy right, on him so easily lol, my hubby never threatened me or wanted to kill me, he is just crazy in love for me lol I hope judge Jennifer R. Gerard can be fair with him after all on 12/13/21 dept 301 family court, i am so sorry for all of this

Every single time I called these people I was told that I had no control over my divorce, which has been pending since 2010, because my husband started the process and never finished. And not knowing how to get ahold of him I kept asking if I could file in Washington and I was rudely told that there was nothing I could do. So I have been waiting a year to find him and when I finally did I sent him the papers all filled out all he had to do is sign them. Well the good news is he finally signed them and sent them back but now I’m looking at the pages and wondering if they gave me the right forms to send in. Grr 😠😾. I’ll update this if I can ever get ahold of them. Because of Covid-19 the phones are only answered until 2 and several of the courts are closed. So hopefully Riverside is still open. They are rude and frustrating.

The court is only open M-F. You would have to call early and check, BUT more than likely your court date is scheduled for the morning so it might be smart to just go in as soon as they open and check with the clerk. That way if you are supposed to be there you won't be late.

You can make a limited appearance to contest jurisdiction only. The problem is you'll likely be served right in court. If you had an attorney the attorney could appear for you without your presence. Hope that helps.

Justine Vallez | Aug 27, 2019
Ashley Williams | Aug 27, 2019

I believe that would be taken care of in probate, not family law. Family law is for divorce, domestic violence, and child custody/support between parents. In probate court they handle guardianships. You can always look up the self help center in downtown riverside and go see them or call them. They can give more advice on what needs to be filed.

I know several of the clerks working there and while they are very busy, I know that you are going to get your answer because they are friendly and nice people, mostly... if you don't receive a timely response, you can call or text me when you get the chance and I will get you your answer. - Security Officer Mr. Smith

Original court maintains the case until you file motion there, and get permission to move the case to a different county. It's a motion to change venue.
