Husband gained access to my apartment and sawed open my Sentry safe

I (32F) requested a divorce from my husband (41M) over six months ago and he has demonstrated increasingly aggressive/desperate behaviors in an attempt to be around me/talk to me/convince me not to divorce him/find evidence of an affair to use in court (there is none). We haven’t lived together for a year, but I am unable to remove him from the lease without his consent. I found out apartment management let him into my unit (he doesn’t have a key). He FaceTimed my daughters and me the night before and saw that we were staying at my parents’ house. I should have known that he was then planning to go to my apartment, but I had told him a number of times he was not permitted in my personal space and my lawyer even sent him a formal notice days before to disengage from contentious interactions with me after a horrible kid exchange at the airport.

He does not have a key. He was let in, apparently carrying power tools with him, and sawed open my Sentry safe. After finding nothing, He disposed of it in the trash room, I guess hoping I would think he only took the safe because he claims it is his (we bought it together while married). It looks like he also rifled through my closet.

I never imagined our divorce would be this contentious or that he would act this way. He tried to bait me to come to the kid exchange the following day (my daughters were going back with him), by saying “You’re going to want to be there. I have something for you.” I did not go; my parents did. He was incredibly distraught by that and hardly acknowledged my daughters’ arrival. I absolutely can’t be around him because of his emotional instability. It’s getting to the point where I am afraid, and I’ve never been the kind of person to admit that (I am a typical eldest daughter with the “I can handle it” attitude).

Just venting and I want my kids to be ok.
