(1) Each county court shall have the power to issue
process necessary to acquire jurisdiction, to require attendance, and to enforce all
orders, decrees, and judgments. Such process runs to any county within the state
and, when authorized by the Colorado rules of civil procedure, may be served
outside the state. Any sheriff to whom process is directed is authorized and
required to execute the same, and he is entitled to the same fees as are allowed for
serving like process from the district courts. Persons other than the sheriff or his
deputies may also serve process from the county court when permitted by the
Colorado rules of civil procedure or by law.

(2) Upon request of the court, the prosecuting county, or the defendant, the
clerk of the county court shall issue a subpoena for the appearance, at any and all
stages of the court's proceedings, of the parent, guardian, or lawful custodian of
any child under eighteen years of age who is charged with the violation of a county
ordinance. Whenever a person who is issued a subpoena pursuant to this subsection
(2) fails, without good cause, to appear, the court may issue an order for the person
to show cause to the court as to why the person should not be held in contempt.
Following a show cause hearing, the court may make findings of fact and
conclusions of law and may enter an appropriate order, which may include finding
the person in contempt.
