A: First and foremost, it sounds like you should consider hiring an attorney. It sounds like your ex and his attorney are taking a very aggressive approach in the custody litigation. Their approach seems to be working to keep you from the kids. I suggest finding an attorney who can help level the playing field for you.

As far as the other stuff going on in the background, you may qualify for a civil stalking injunction to get your ex to stop his harassment. It is likely not going to get either case thrown out, but may be a good first step towards leveling the playing field.
