Dean and Bridget Norris Move Through Divorce as Their Temecula Restaurant Seeks Restructuring

Court and bankruptcy filings could determine custody, spousal support and whether the couple’s Swing Inn Cafe can reorganize to remain open.

Overview

  • Bridget Norris filed for divorce on February 14, 2025, listed a separation date of January 15, 2025, and asked the court for joint legal and physical custody along with spousal support.
  • Dean Norris responded to the petition months later and the divorce remains unresolved in Riverside County with no final settlement reported.
  • Their business that runs the Swing Inn Cafe filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 25, 2026, signaling an intent to restructure debts rather than immediate liquidation.
  • Bankruptcy paperwork lists about $147,809.58 in assets and $1,811,598.46 in liabilities for the cafe and reports a roughly $1 million drop in gross revenue from 2024 to 2025.
  • Dean listed the couple’s 11‑acre Temecula estate for $3,199,267 and the couple’s other local venture, the Norris Performing Arts Center, ties the legal and financial issues to community jobs and services.
