When You Need to Pursue an Emergency Ex Parte Custody Order for Your Children

Today we're going to talk about when it's appropriate to seek out an attorney and have them pursue an emergency ex parte custody order for your children.

Under Oklahoma law, in order to get it right, emergency ex parte order, you have to show the court that there is an imminent threat to the health, safety, or welfare of the children that commands immediate action by the court without notice to the other party.

What does that mean? Well, examples of cases where I've seen them granted, serious medical neglect.

There was a case involving children where they had serious dental rot from neglect, and the judge signed an order on that basis. Threats of violence. And it doesn't necessarily have to be against the child.

I've seen cases where there were threats of violence against the mother, and the threat of violence at all was grounds for the court to take the child away from the father. Serious substance abuse.

If somebody is known to use hard drugs and it's causing them to become unstable enough that they were an immediate threat to the child.
