An Oklahoma Emergency Custody Hearing Order is a court order issued by a judge to grant temporary legal custody of a child to a person or entity. This type of order is usually requested when there is an immediate and urgent need to protect a child from harm or abuse. It is typically used in cases of physical or sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, or when a parent is unfit to care for the child. There are two types of Oklahoma Emergency Custody Hearing Order: ex parte and full hearing. An ex parte order is granted without a hearing, while a full hearing allows both parties to present their evidence and arguments before a judge makes a ruling. In either case, the order is usually valid for a specified period of time, after which it must be renewed or extended by the court.
