Understanding Protective Orders in Oklahoma
Do you know what a protective order in Oklahoma does? I’m Tahlequah family attorney Aaron Grubb at Wirth Law Office.
In this video, we’re breaking down four key tools protective orders use to support victims. These are outlined in the statutes and provide critical protections:
Key Tools of Protective Orders
Residence Removal – If the victim and defendant live together, the court can order the defendant to leave. This is an important step in ensuring the victim’s immediate safety and peace of mind.
Pet Custody – The court can grant the victim exclusive control of pets, meaning the defendant must surrender them and have no contact. This provision recognizes the emotional bond many have with their pets and aims to protect the victim’s well-being.
Firearm Surrender – Defendants may be required to give up all firearms and concealed carry licenses. This measure helps to reduce the risk of violence and ensures that the victim feels more secure.
Child Visitation Modification – Depending on the circumstances, the court has the power to modify or suspend visitation rights. This adjustment is crucial in protecting children from potential harm.
