Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

I got divorced 3 years ago. I am now remarried. My husband has domestic abuse on his past record and now my ex husband is using that against us. he has made reports to dhs 2 for domestic and 1 accusing my husband of molesting my daughter. the 2 domestic were "confirmed" because of my husbands past. he continuously makes threats of taking custody of our daughter...age 4. he is now a police officer and acts as if his badge puts him in control. he continuously tells me when and where the visitation exchange will be. and if i do not go to where he tells me to meet him he threatens to take my daughter back to the town he lives in because if i dont show up that means i dont want her. he is driving me crazy! i need help. this cant be legal. he is brain washing our daughter into thinking she sould live with him because "she has more fun there" I have 2 other children that are not his. i cant let my family be broken up because of him...help! WHAT CAN I DO!?

Hire an attorney and let him or her sort it out for you. From what you've said I assume that DHS did a child protective investigation and if the reports came back confirmed on your present husband, and you have young children in the home this situation is going to get worse before it gets better.
