I think with the prior domestic violence history, no court is going to buy that you are manipulating HIM.
I'm sorry you have to go to court to respond to such a silly motion, but if I were you, I'd ask the court to sanction him for filing a frivolous motion. The court might not do it THIS time, but if he continues to waste the court's time, my bet is that sooner or later he'll get hit with monetary sanctions. If you were represented, he might have to pay your attorney's fees, but since you are pro se, that won't be an option. He's still wasting the court's time, and YOUR time.
As I said, the court might give him a little leeway this time, but if you ask EVERY time he files some stupid court proceedings, my bet is that eventually the court will put an end to it.
