Divorce Support Forums: Problem attorney!

I wanted to be able to move to my homestate, where my son and I travel to visit as often as we can. I have no family and no support here. I do not want to take away his visitation, but I want it reworked so that I am able to live my life happily and not in a state that I hate being. I feel that my son has a right to know BOTH SIDES of his family, and not just on the occassions I can manage to get off work and have the money to do so. When I was growing up, my dad lived in Illinois and my mom lived in California with me and my siblings. We spent summer break and winter break with my dad and he was allowed to come see us whenever he wanted. I don't feel that it's right to be stuck somewhere against your will where your ex husband harrasses you constantly and you have no ties to being. He plays it as "smartly" as someone who would live to make someone else's life hell can and even if I have an order of protection, he pushes it to the limit where the authorities cannot do anything.

He was arrested and kept for 3 days in county jail for the domestic violence. I pressed charges and he was required to take an anger management class that I feel, didn't work. I have police reports, pictures, voicemails, threatening text messages, neighbors who heard everything, and even a voicemail that got recorded on my sister's phone by accident (it is 10 minutes long and you can hear everything that was going on). Now that all is said and done, he calls me constantly, no matter if I have my son at that time or not. If I don't answer, I'm a "bad parent". I have had to get a 2nd cell phone so that I can live a normal life at least part of the time. I keep the number he has turned on 24/7 when he has my son and I call him once a day at bedtime so that he can talk to my son when I have him. He has his friends keep tabs on me. If I ever go out to do anything with friends and one of them sees me or hears about it, they will take pictures on their camera phones and send it to him. Then within minutes I get a message asking why I'm out. I don't even go out when it's my time with my son, except maybe to take him to the park or something with friends and their children. I do not do anything to harm my son, but he acts as if I do. One minute he's happy as can be, the next raging mad about who knows what. I just want out of this situation. You tell me if I'm wrong for wanting away from him??
