Answers:
Nobody can 100% protect anyone from criminal attack.
But the judge can take all of that into account, including his threats, when determining what happens to him, and how custody is awarded.
But if you don't show up, you lose.
And if the DA is his friend, the DA cannot get involved in anything regarding him.
You need to contact a Women's rights group RIGHT AWAY to lead you in the right direction. There are lots of lawyers that will offer free services to Women in these situations. SAVE EVERY bit of correspondence from this man and write down dates and times he threatened you.Where the children ever present? Please contact a women's group in your area...the lawyer you spoke of is negligent and your life is worth more then that. Good luck and God Bless!
If you have a court order you will have to appear or loose the children. However, You can call the sheriff in that state and file a statement with them and they are to furnish protection for you. Take your whole family with you so you will have witnesses when you confront him and be sure to take a pocket recorder. You if you can record his threat in the court house the judge will deny his claim for the children. You may want your lawyer there when he makes those threats.
Get another lawyer and go down to the police headquarters and let them listen to the tape. Let them hear for themself what he is saying.
Please stay safe
