Oklahoma protection orders
are intended by the court to protect you
and your family against violent or harassing
behavior from your spouse, ex-spouse, a
current spouse of your ex-spouse, any blood
relatives, adoptive/foster relatives, roommates,
former roommates, someone with whom you
have had a child with and your current or
former significant other.
There are three (3) different types of Oklahoma
protection orders; an emergency temporary
order, an emergency ex parte protection
order and a final protection order.
An emergency
temporary protection order is,
as at sounds, and emergency protection order
that can be granted when the court is closed
through an officer of the law. This emergency
protection order is intended to be for short-term
protection and can be filed without the
knowledge of the abuser. Temporary refers
to the fact that this order only lasts until
the end of the next day the courthouse is
open.
At this point you must file for an emergency
ex parte protection order as well
as the final protection order. The emergency
ex parte protection order offers the same
protection and autonomy as the emergency
temporary protection order but you must
file this one yourself while the courthouse
is open. This order will protect you until
the final protection order hearing which
is usually scheduled within twenty (20)
days.
The final protection
order can only be issued after
both parties have a chance to explain their
side of the story in a court hearing. If
granted, the final protection order offers
more extensive protection and can last up
to three years.
