Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Criminal or civil case?

Trying to get divorced since 8/2006. Ex is bi-Polar and on a mission to destroy me and my family. Sending copies of my personal journal around. I went to get journals and he calls police and says I threatened to shoot him and a friend in the face. Arrested for terrorist threats. My car with purse locked by cops. No car two hours later. Two friends saw him drive my car into friends garage. Cops say he's on registration and car is on private property so I can't get my purse. He gets restraining order but did not check the property control box in which he says he wants control of car. Do I not have a right to the car since it has been in my possession since 7/06? Isn't there a temporary restraining order for the dissolution that says I keep the car until we make agreement or judge decides? I paid payments on the car until paid off in 8/2007. The car is now parked outside old house. Can I go get it? Do I need a criminal attorney for the charges now against me or is this part of the civil family law case? Please advise, he's now mailing copies of my journal to addresses that were in my address book in my purse. We both have attorney's and mine said judge never should have signed restraining order, since we already have one.
