Everything on familylawriverside.com is general information about how the family court in Riverside County, California works. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from an attorney who knows the facts of your case.
What this site is not
- Not a law firm. familylawriverside.com is published by Webhaus LLC, a publisher. Nobody on the team is licensed to practice law in California or anywhere else.
- Not legal advice. The pages describe procedures, forms, fees and the law in general terms. They cannot tell you what to do in your situation, and the right course in a particular case can depend on facts no general page can know.
- Not an attorney-client relationship. Reading this site, emailing the editor or following a link creates no attorney-client relationship with anyone.
- Not a lawyer referral service. The site does not recommend, rank, endorse or match readers with attorneys. Where it names ways to find an attorney, it names official channels such as the State Bar’s certified lawyer referral services and the court’s self-help resources. Any advertisement from a law firm that appears on the site is labeled as an advertisement and is described in the advertising policy.
- Not the court. The site has no connection to the Riverside County Superior Court. It cannot file documents, look up cases, give hearing dates or answer questions about a case. The court’s own pages and its Self-Help Center can.
Information changes
Court fees, income thresholds, forms and rules change, usually on January 1 and sometimes mid-year. Every figure on the site carries the date of the source it comes from, and pages are re-checked on a schedule, but a page may be out of date on the day you read it. Before you rely on a fee, a deadline or a form, confirm it on the court’s site or the California Courts self-help site, which are linked from each article.
Deadlines
Family law has deadlines that cannot be extended by a website. If you have been served with papers, or need an order quickly, contact the court’s Self-Help Center, a legal aid organization or an attorney without waiting.
Emergencies
If you are in danger, call 911. The pages on restraining orders describe the court process; they are not a substitute for emergency help.
