he finds out about this.

My lawyer will be filing a motion to kick stbx out of our home that is for sale (he lives there by himself) because he is doing whatever he can to prevent anyone from wanting to buy it (I posted details in a previous mail).

I'm scared of what he will do when he finds out about the motion and even more afraid of what he will do if my motion is granted and he is kicked out. If he is kicked out, my 2 DDs (5 and 2) and I will be moving in. I'll have the locks changed and add the address to the Order of Protection, but I work from home most days and at night it will just be myself and my daughters.

He's been following the OOP pretty much since I filed it, but I'm just really scared that this will push him over the edge. Not moving in isn't an option because where we are staying isn't going to be available any more.

Any ideas to help stay safe?

Maybe you can find somewhere temporary to stay for a few days or more while he's getting notice of this and is moving that he won't know about until he has some time to get used to the idea. Once he's out and you're in, you can go to Home Depot or Lowe's and ask about security items for windows and such, I know some items that can add to your security don't cost a lot at all. Be sure to review the safety information on the web page. Basically treat this as if you're dealing with a stalker, any safety information on dealing with stalkers will have some useful information for you.
