Oklahoma Victim Protective Orders:  Law and Procedure

Oklahoma has provided online guidance and self help forms for all individuals seeking protection from Domestic Violence. The Oklahoma Supreme Court Network has Forms available for you to file a Victim Protective Order.  The You Tube video below was produced by the Bench and Bar Committee of the Oklahoma Bar Association.*

22 O.S. 60.1 contains the Oklahoma definitions for Domestic Abuse, Stalking, and Harassment which qualify for a Victim Protective Order.  Oklahoma Legal Aid also has detailed information about Victim Protective Orders.  The Notice of Victim's Rights set forth by the Oklahoma Legislature in 22 O.S. 60.15 appears below:
As a victim of domestic abuse, rape, forcible sodomy or stalking you have certain rights. These rights are as follows:
1. The right to request that charges be pressed against your assailant;
2. The right to request protection from any harm or threat of harm arising out of your cooperation with law enforcement and prosecution efforts as far as facilities are available and to be provided with information on the level of protection available;
3. The right to be informed of financial assistance and other social services available as a result of being a victim, including information on how to apply for the assistance and services; and
4. The right to file a petition for a protective order or, when the domestic abuse occurs when the court is not open for business, to request an emergency temporary protective order.


​Please be aware that filing and serving a VPO is a red flag time for a person in a Domestic Violence situation.  Please educate yourself and be prepared.  For more information, contact the Oklahoma Safe-Line at 1-800-522-SAFE (7233).
In addition to youself and your children, VPO's can also include your pets.  Pursuant to 22 O.S. 60.2 E., "The person seeking a protective order may further request the exclusive care, possession, or control of any animal owned, possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner, defendant or minor child residing in the residence of the petitioner or defendant. The court may order the defendant to make no contact with the animal and forbid the defendant from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing, molesting, attacking, striking, threatening, harming, or otherwise disposing of the animal."
