He also told the court the couple are getting a divorce and are also undertaking mediation.
He claimed she is verbally abusive towards him and the children.
He also claimed she hit a teenage child who he then took to a garda station.
Judge Desmond Zaidan said he would reluctantly grant an interim protection order against the woman, who also has a similar order against the man.
The judge said that strictly speaking neither party deserves to be granted an order because these are matters that can be dealt with at a normal family law hearing, rather than via an emergency application.
