Protective Orders in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Protective Orders Help Prevent Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a serious issue that deeply affects individuals and families. A protective order is a court-issued document that legally prohibits an abuser from engaging in harmful behavior such as harassment, threats, or physical violence.

Contested Hearings in Protective Order Cases

After an emergency protective order is issued, a court hearing is scheduled. In a contested hearing, the burden falls on the petitioner to present evidence that abuse occurred.

What a Protective Order Can Do

An emergency protective order can prohibit contact, require the abuser to stay away from your home, and order surrender of firearms and other dangerous weapons.
