Protecting My child

It is going to be tough to get a restraining order. The standard is not verbal abuse but threats of harm or harm in the physical sense, not emotional.

It is strange indeed.

This is a matter that your ex should deal with. If he cannot, then you ought to seek recourse in the probate court through an action for modification.

Depending on how complicated this gets will depend on if you need an attorney to assist you.

You can contact me at my office for a complimentary consultation if you have any further questions, or need assistance.
