I’d pack my shit and go to a shelter 💯he wouldn’t find you there and they will help you with resources and it will also look good in court on you because it shows your the bigger person and protecting them is best

Yes, I would definitely get some sort of custody in place and get the PFA if you feel You and the kids are in danger.

That's not kidnapping, they're his kids and you don't have a custody order.
The kicking in the ac unit and trying to kick in the door is where you go with this. It's probably time to establish custody. Sorry you have to deal with this asshat.

Oh wow. Yes do what you got to do to protect your kids.

Sorry I missed the part of him pushing in the ac unit and kicking the door in. Use that and let them know you’re in fear of his irrational behaviors.

Just to let you know unless a custody order outlines custody and visitation what he did isn’t technically kidnapping. When you go to get your protective order, they will ask you if you’re in fear or believe you and the kids are in danger. I would make that my case, because if you try to use kidnapping when right now there’s isn’t a custody order to define that, it may be declined.
