Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

My son keeps telling me that his dad screams at him and hurts him. My ex has a violent temper, one reason I divorced him. Since my ex wants to appear the victim and has learned how to manipulate the law, how do I know when to file a protective order for my son that will stick?
