My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Ohio
I recently moved and had to notify my ex of our change of address. He has zero custody or visitation of our children, but is allowed phone contact. In the last 3 weeks, he has said 3 times that he will come to my house. First, I told him the kids weren't available to speak to him and he said, "I guess I can just come to your house and check" I told him he was NOT welcome at my house, ever. He said that he can show up if he wants to, he just isn't allowed to come in. Second time, he was asking about vacation and told since I didn't answer him, he obviously needed to just stop by my house to discuss it with my boyfriend and I. Third, he owes money for medical bills and I can file contempt at any time (fourth time). I told him if he didn't pay it today, I would do that. He said he could just stop by my house to bring it. Mind you, he has NEVER been allowed at my house, even when he had visitation. All exchanges had to happen at the police station. Every meeting took place there, and my house has never been on the table, ever. He was told 3 weeks ago to never come to my house, yet he keeps making statements that he will come here. He has a history of mental illness , has lost visitation for being inappropriate with my children, and knows that he is intimidating me by doing this. I don't want him near my home or my kids, but that's his first line when he isn't getting his way. That he can just stop by my house. Is this enough or does he have to physically show up before I file?
Editing to add: He lives 30 miles from me, so it's not like "stopping by my house" is a convenience thing. It would be him going out of his way to show up here.

Enough for a Protection Order
