Protecting Stability in Divorce: The Automatic Temporary Injunction Explained
Right after you file for divorce in Oklahoma, an automatic temporary injunction goes into place for the protection of both parties. This document prevents major changes to the status quo, such as removing health insurance coverage or emptying bank accounts. It aims to maintain stability for the benefit of the family during the divorce process.
Enforcement and Consequences
If one party violates the automatic temporary injunction, there are enforcement mechanisms in place. While there may not be criminal penalties, a judge could hold the violating party in contempt, leading to civil remedies. This helps prevent unfair advantages or attempts to hide assets during the divorce proceedings.
