restrained person seeking restraining order on protected person

If some one has an emergency protective order against you, can you file one against the protected person?
My son's father has made a false accusation toward me and I was recently arrested (after being attacked by his girl friend). He has a history of making false police reports and a couple years ago had me arrested for allegedly "stealing" his golf club. However, once I began to go to court he recanted his statement and wrote a letter to the D.A. asking that the charges be dropped and they were.
He also made a call to the police once and was caught lying to them about an issue regarding my son & I.
I'm just wondering, can I file a restraining order against him and report what he's putting me through...I know I have the right to do that, but would it be advised? I am eager to get the attention of a Judge regarding his previous accusations and history with me. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure if a restraining order is what you need. You may be better off filing a civil law suit (possibly for defamation) or for filing frivolous complains against you. You should consult with a local attorney to see what remedies are available in your state and what torts you can pursue against this individual
