There's no way to answer you. You haven't said what basis you have for the fear or how you plan to prove it.
If there is a history of violence and threats and you acted properly each time (making a police report every time), take those reports to the Superior Court and seek a protective order. A Judge may grant one in such cases.
Additionally, if he has violated your divorce in some way, see the lawyer who represented you in that case about possible remedies.
If there is just a fear you can't prove, then the answer probably is no.
