Grounds for a restraining order during divorce?

Thank you, I'm surprised to see how specific a lot of that list is to me. I always assumed domestic violence was just about physical violence. He's always been careful to never step over that line but he's come close to hitting me multiple times for very petty reasons.

Such as me keeping the door locked because our son kept running out into the street. He said I was "up to something and locked him out of his own home" instead of just texting me or knocking at the door. He started smashing the home up and got very violent, I had to lock myself and the kids in my bedroom. I was told by others that I couldn't report him though because he didn't actually hit me.

Thanks again, I'll contact them.
