Legal Question in Family Law in California

Can 1 press charges for physical and verbal offense??

If in the process of divorce, ex-husband has restraining order by ex-wife who accuses him for aggression; in turn he has proof that whenever they have to be in the same place in public for court hearing or any issues related to the divorce, ex-wife physically attacks and verbally offends the ex-husband. Can he press charges and sue ex-wife for moral and physical aggression or something similar???? She always ridicularize and put him emotionally and morally down in public and in front of lawyers and arbitrator involved in the case.

Kindly advise what can be done to stop this kind of aggretion and offense to a human being.

Thank you.
