I am looking to get legal advise on getting a protection…

Save all the abusive texts and anything that is put in writing. This can be used as powerful later evidence since it is not one word against another. Try to press charges for her stalking you and use the restaurant security cameras as evidence. Similarly if your apartment building has security cameras get hold of the tapes and use this as evidence. Take pictures of the Damage Done to your car. Pictures speak a thousand words. It's true that since men are stronger and larger as a rule the place and the courts tend to take a stricter approach if a man is accused of abusing a woman rather than the reverse. However, statistics show that the abuse is about equal on both sides. If you are suffering from this abuse the best you can do is document says and use it in the divorce. Also, you should contact a local father's rights chapter. They can help you in dealing with her alienating you from the daughters and impersonating with dirty language on their phones. If you Google father's rights they will point you to a general number which can point you to a local chapter. You should ask you a local bar association for a referral to a lawyer who specializes in helping men who are abused and fathers who were denied access to their children. Sometimes that is even grounds for reversing custody if the judge sees that one parent is alienating the children from the other.
