First of all thank you all for your support today (and other days).
The judge was more than happy to grant temporary orders barring her from contact with me or the children. She must remain at least 100 yards away from us, our home, their camp, my work and may not contact me or them in anyway. She can not come within 100 yards of their father's home if the children are there. A hearing is set to make the orders permanent and to give her an opportunity to respond (I could sell tickets to that). The court was sending an officer to her home to inform her of the orders and the upcoming court date.
I left a message for my former husband from my laywers office informing him of her actions and the actions I have taken to protect our children. I told him of the court's actions and told him I could provide him with a copy of the messages should there be any doubt. He is also getting a visit from an officer of the court, I told him, since his residence and he (when the children are with him) are included in the orders.
If he continues to allow her to be part of his life, there isn't anything I can do about that. Until last night, I figured if he chose to make her a part of their lives there was little I could (or even should if this was the woman he wanted to be with) do about it. Well, that changed the second she posed a threat to them. She will never be around my children if I have anything to say about that.
I have two good girlfriends who are staying with me and the kids this weekend just so I feel safe. This whole situation is just insane. I'm just glad I have recourse if this nutcase tries anything. Drunk or not, last night, the fact that she has even an inkling of this kind of thing in her is enough for me.

Way to go!!!
You were really strong and together. You obviously have a good and go to it lawyer and a responsive court system!
Absolutely fantastic response.
Now lets hope she fades into the woodwork somewhere fast.
