You can designate a Guardian in your will and then that Guardian can file for custody if you die before they turn 18. Get an estate planning attorney to write your will
The police said there was a protective order but how long is this good for? I want a divorce and dont want him back but considering we are married how does it work? He has nobody and I know he will try to come here 1st chance he gets

To a degree it depends on the prior judgment, who is designated the primary domiciliary patent and whether the relocation was agreed to. See a lawyer.
