Can my ex-boyfriend do anything to my kids or mobile home?

Question

My ex-boyfrend and I broke up almost a month ago by him moving out and leaving me a voicemail saying so. I played it for my cps worker and she was relieved because he was a few fruit loops short of a complete breakfast. Cps got involved a month ago because of his brother who is also nuttier than him. Long story but not the reason for my question. My boyfriend didn't pay anything for the mobile home but to be nice I let him sign 2 of the $500 money orders. The mobile home was $2995 and $590 to move in, I signed the rest. I have signed every utility reciept and rent reciept since the move in date of March 1st. He took all of his personal property when he left. He is threatening to take my dog, my sons games, my deep freezer, and a whole lot of my appliances and other things. He is threatening to get me kicked out of my mobile home and to have my kids taken away by cps when he takes my furniture. He is threatening to get my phone cut off which I pay the bill on time every month for but is in his name. The police said he can't take any disputed property and he can pay for a lawyer and knows I can't. I have been nothing but nice to him. I offered to be his friend even though he screwed me on bills. He got mad because I don't want to be with him anymore at all period and I won't sleep with him. Sleeping with him actually stopped in December when he stopped showering. He smelled so bad it brought tears to my eyes. He threatens to have my kids taken away and my mobile home and I made 1 police report so far but the police said until he takes action I cant get a personal protection order.  This guy is ruining my life. I told the guy he was psycho and obsessed and I told him to leave me alone and I want my space. He doesn't listen to anything unless I say what he wants to hear. I can't lie. What do I do next? My kids and my close guy friend all take turns texting him because he won't stop. If I don't text back he harasses me more. NOTE: THE KIDS ARE NOT HIS. THEY ARE FROM A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE AND ARE TEENAGERS. ME AND THIS GUY WERE ONLY TOGETHER FOR A BIT OVER A YEAR. I AM ALSO STILL LEGALLY MARRIED TO MY HUSBAND IN NEW YORK. WE HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FOR 2 YEARS.

have a quiet and private visit with the local police captain - arrange to have a meeting - tell him the story -
 in the mean-time, put the bills in your own name - phone, whatever else you can. 

If this guy is harassing you have every right to report him - he sounds like he lives on the edge of the law is personally a disaster - 
 he will probably not really do the stuff he claims - he would have to take his smelly, unhealthy self into professional people's offices and take these actions - he doesn't sound like he really would.

He DOES sound like he might do something really stupid or dangerous and bring risk or harm to you and yours - get the law to know your situation - they wil have someone who will listen - before anything hits the fan.

your actions will change your 'luck'

In ANY state, your ex-husband can obtain legal custody if they can convince the court it is in the child's best interest. Your boyfriends criminal record will tend to help your ex-husbands case, but is not necessarily sufficient on its own. The suicide attempt will also work against you. What you 'know' about your boyfriend means NOTHING in court. What you can convince the JUDGE to believe is what matters. "He would never hurt them." is an argument judges hear all the time. It is usually made after 'he' has hurt them.
