Q: Harassment and Invasion of Privacy by ex-husband

My ex-husband, despite a settled custody agreement, is harassing me post-divorce. He sends abusive emails and messages to me, my husband, and in-laws, spreading false allegations and pressuring me to give up custody of my daughter. This is affecting my mental peace and family life. Can I get a restraining order and modify the custody terms based on this ongoing harassment?
