Riverside County stretches more than 7,000 square miles — from Corona and Eastvale, close enough that thousands of residents commute into Orange County every morning, east through Moreno Valley and Hemet and out across the Coachella Valley toward the Arizona line.

Two things make filing here a little different from the rest of Southern California, and both are worth understanding before you start: where a Riverside County case is actually heard, and how a county this spread out is best served.
Your bankruptcy court: the Riverside Division
Riverside County bankruptcy cases are filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Riverside Division — and for Riverside County residents, that court sits right in your own county seat, the city of Riverside.
