What to do about an order of pprotection?
I am going through a very nasty divorce for about 3 years now including a custody battle. Right now I have temporary custody and he has visitation. My soon-to-be ex has been stalking both myself and my boyfriend for the past year. I have an order of protection for myself against him, which he has violated about a dozen times and has been arrested and charged for 3 of those times. For his latest antic, my ex has gone and somehow gotten a “no stalking” order against my boyfriend. We will definitely be filing a motion to vacate that but my ex also put our 3 kids on that order. Does this mean that my boyfriend cannot even be in our house with the kids? How was my ex able to obtain this with the children on it when he doesn’t even have legal custody?

In order to answer your question with respect to the last order of protection that you have written about you need to carefully read the one that your "ex" obtaine din that such will set forth the terms and restrictions in place.
As to how your "ex" was able to get the order you have written about I can only speculate about since I have not read it. I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about the matter to assist you since from what you have written, matters seem to be escalating between you and the "ex".
