Does the Riverside County District Attorneys Office only enforce orders issued by the Riverside Superior Court?
No, our office can seek to enforce orders issued by other courts, provided they are valid custody orders. The real criterion for us to assist with enforcement, is whether the person seeking our help on a custody enforcement matter is a resident of Riverside County. For example, our office can seek to assist a Riverside County resident even if the order is from a neighboring county. If a resident from another county contacts us with a Riverside County custody order we will direct that person to the child abduction unit in the county in which they reside. The most important factor in deciding jurisdiction is where the person seeking our assistance lives.
