So I separated with my ex husband back in 2022 and officially got divorced last year back in August. Through that time he spent two years sexually harassing me and was using our daughter as an excuse to see me or get me alone with him. Due to his autism I kept telling myself he was just having a hard time moving on and finding someone else especially since I was his first relationship and the one to take his virginity and basically made excuses for him despite how disgusting and degrading it was and made me feel. Once he met a new woman he immediately demonized me and made excuses on why I couldn't have my daughter back despite agreeing I could have her after preschool. Well after a few months with this new woman our daughter became too much for him and his new fiancee and all I received from him and his mother was that I can pick her up and just have her. Despite how happy I was, I wasn't ready and it took a month transferring her to a new school and getting everything she needed set up with her. He went an entire year without asking about her, trying to contact her, or anything in general. As soon as I hit him with child support he wanted a divorce and immediately demanded parenting time. We got divorced but the judge for some reason never set up a parenting plan and had closed our case without really settling anything. He's trying to use a previous parenting plan to get weekends with our daughter but because it was never signed off by a judge and is invalid I don't really want to give him that time. Especially since he asked multiple times through the court if he could take her and run off to a different state. At the time they said it was contempt of court and said he would be charged with kidnapping. So the fact he's pressuring me into giving him overnights and trying to say I've denied him access to his daughter despite always welcoming supervised visits through me or the Lutheran family center in which he's always refused. The stress from it all on top of other things going on in my personal life has just become too much to the point it's affecting my unborn child. I've had sharp pains in my stomach and uterus this entire week and any time he tries to message me it sets off my anxiety causing me to have panic attacks and the pains get worse. He's pretty much harassing me at this point and I just want to know if old messages of him admitting to sexually assulting me and the current health risk that is causing me and my baby harm would be enough to get a temporary no contact order until I'm well enough to get a restraining order against him.

Sorry u are having to go through this.

It doesn’t hurt to try. I highly recommend seeking free legal advice.
I contacted every single free consultation lawyer I could and gathered advice for weeks prior to filing for a protective order. Once I got one, my kids dad disappeared completely within months which is super sad but not surprising
