§22-60.3.


§22-60.3.
   
   A. If a plaintiff requests an emergency ex parte order pursuant to
   Section 60.2 of this title, the court shall hold an ex parte hearing
   on the same day the petition is filed. The court may, for good cause
   shown at the hearing, issue any emergency ex parte order that it finds
   necessary to protect the victim from immediate and present danger of
   domestic abuse, stalking, or harassment. The emergency ex parte order
   shall be in effect until after the full hearing is conducted.
   Provided, if the defendant, after having been served, does not appear
   at the hearing, the emergency ex parte order shall remain in effect
   until the defendant is served with the permanent order. If the terms
   of the permanent order are the same as those in the emergency order,
   or are less restrictive, then it is not necessary to serve the
   defendant with the permanent order. Any emergency ex parte order
   entered shall state: "IF YOU FAIL TO APPEAR AT THE HEARING, A
   PERMANENT ORDER MAY BE ISSUED WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO YOU." An
   emergency ex parte order authorized by this section may include the
   following:
   
   1. An order to the defendant not to abuse or injure the victim;
   
   2. An order to the defendant not to visit, assault, molest, harass or
   otherwise interfere with the victim;
   
   3. An order to the defendant not to threaten the victim;
   
   4. An order to the defendant not to stalk the victim;
   
   5. An order to the defendant not to harass the victim;
   
   6. An order to the defendant to leave the residence; or
   
   7. An order removing the defendant who is a minor child from the
   residence by immediately placing the child in any type of care
   authorized for children taken into custody pursuant to subsection A of
   Section 7303-1.1 of Title 10 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
   
   B. If a plaintiff requests an emergency temporary ex parte order of
   protection as provided by Section 40.3 of this title, the judge who is
   notified of the request by a peace officer may issue such order
   verbally to the officer or in writing when there is reasonable cause
   to believe that the order is necessary to protect the victim from
   immediate and present danger of domestic abuse. When the order is
   issued verbally the judge shall direct the officer to complete and
   sign a statement attesting to the order. The emergency temporary ex
   parte order shall be in effect until the close of business on the next
   day the court is open for business after the order is issued.
