Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

My husband and I decided we wanted a divorce back in april. We had an agreement that I would move from the state of missouri to illinois where I am from. We had the agreement notarized. We were only in the state of missouri because of his job. He is a pilot and he doesn't plan on staying in the area. My kids and I moved back to my hometown in illinois in may. When august came along and while my husband had visitation with 2 out of 3 of our children he went and got a false order of protection on me. It was dropped when he didn't show up. He held me here in missouri stating that he would call the cops and tell them I violated the order of protection. I stayed out of fear. All of my stuff is in illinois along with 95% of our kids belongings. I have been a stay at home mom for 10 yrs. We have been married for 8 yrs. He now wants to keep me no matter what. We went to 2 sessions with a marriage counselor and yesterday he told me and the marriage counselor that I could move home if I want to. He did hint to there could be consequences as he has tried using the kids to keep me here. Before anyone files for divorce since I have been living in illinois besides the last 5 wks and so have my kids can I move home to illinois legally and then file for divorce here in missouri? He has been abusive he admitted it to the counselor and I do have txts where he apologizes for it. I have pics of nails he has broken off of me and a broken phone. Please I need advice fast. I fear he is going to get crazy again.
