Q: What is the specific law in Oklahoma that states if a parent believes their child is in danger they are to refuse visits
With the other parent and file an emergency order? If they allow the children to go anyway they can be charged?
A: Every case is different, but a reasonable belief is the starting point, there are many factors involved in this and since you would be violating a court order, you need to make sure that you are doing it in the manner in which you are allowed in order to not be held in contempt yourself. Allowing the child to be put into danger when you have knowledge of the activity could allow you to be found as failure to protect. Due to the intricate nature of these matters you need to contact a family law attorney in your area as soon as possible.
