Why Oklahoma‑Specific Help Matters Now

Oklahoma recorded a record high 122 domestic violence homicides in 2023—a 16% increase from 2022—and has remained among the top states for women killed by men. The state averaged 115 domestic violence homicide victims annually between 2019 and 2023, and about 59 children on average witness a domestic‑violence homicide each year. OAG Fatality Review Board release. (oklahoma.gov)

This guide cuts through the noise with verified contacts, step‑by‑step actions, real timelines, and concrete dollar amounts for programs you’re likely to need in the first 72 hours and the next 90 days.

Protective Orders in Oklahoma: Fast, Practical Steps

• File as soon as it’s safe: Courts must set a full hearing within 14 days of your filing (sooner in limited cases). You can obtain an emergency temporary or ex parte order the same day. 22 O.S. § 60.4. (law.justia.com)
• Where to start today: Download and fill out court‑approved forms from the Oklahoma Supreme Court Network, available in multiple languages. OSCN Protective Order Forms. (oscn.net)
• No filing fee up front: You don’t pay to file; judges may assign court costs later (often to the defendant when the order is granted). 22 O.S. § 60.2; county guidance, OKDHS VPO page. (law.justia.com, oklahoma.gov)
• How to file after hours: Call 911 and ask for an emergency protective order or go to a Family Justice Center during open hours: Palomar OKC (405‑552‑1010); Family Safety Center Tulsa (918‑742‑7480). (palomarokc.org, tulsapolice.org)
• Service of process: The sheriff serves the respondent; lack of service is not grounds to dismiss—your temporary order can be renewed with new hearing dates until service is made. [22 O.S. § 60.4(B)(3)‑(5)]. (law.justia.com)
• Firearms reality check: Oklahoma does not automatically require firearm surrender under state law, but your order can include firearm restrictions and federal law may prohibit possession. Ask the judge to include firearm terms. 22 O.S. § 60.11; Giffords summary, Giffords Law Center. (law.justia.com, giffords.org)

• Know your housing rights under VAWA: If you’re in HUD‑assisted housing (public housing, vouchers, CoC/ESG shelters, etc.), VAWA protects you from being denied housing or evicted because of abuse, allows emergency transfers, and permits portability moves with your voucher for safety. Ask your PHA for HUD Forms 5380/5382/5383 and their Emergency Transfer Plan. HUD VAWA rights, HUD VAWA page. (hud.gov)
• State voucher admin contact: If you have an OHFA voucher and must relocate for safety, call 405‑419‑8170 (Portability Specialist) to request a move. OHFA Portability. (ohfa.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work: If a landlord or housing authority ignores VAWA, file a complaint with HUD’s Office of Fair Housing. You can request a safety transfer even if there’s no police report; your certification is valid. HUD VAWA. (hud.gov)

Reality Check: What Oklahoma’s Numbers Mean for Your Safety

• The Oklahoma Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board reported 122 domestic‑violence homicides in 2023—the highest on record—with 50 intimate‑partner homicides and 30 murder‑suicides statewide. Plan for safety during “flashpoints” like filing a protective order, leaving, or serving court papers. OAG release. (oklahoma.gov)
• OSDH notes that about 40% of Oklahoma women experience intimate partner violence, rape, and/or stalking in their lifetimes—this is widespread, and services are set up to help you navigate the system. OSDH IPV page. (oklahoma.gov)

---

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Waiting to file because you lack a police report: For family/household cases you don’t need one to file. For stalking/harassment by someone outside that circle, a police complaint is required before filing. (law.justia.com)
• Not listing all incidents or children/pets on the petition: Add every relevant detail up front to avoid delays.
• Assuming firearm surrender will “just happen”: Ask the judge to include specific firearm restrictions in your order. (giffords.org)
• Missing your hearing: The case can be dismissed and costs can be assessed. If you can’t safely attend, ask in advance for a continuance or remote option.
• Applying for benefits without noting domestic violence: Telling DHS can activate “good cause” and prevent penalties. (oklahoma.gov)

---
