Abusive Dad Wants To Show Up After I Gave Birth, How Do I Keep Him Away?

Card image cap

WI, US. I just gave birth to my son, my first child and my abusive dads first grandchild. Ive been no contact with him since 2020, but my brother still talks to him. Brother informed me while I was laboring that he (our dad) texted him telling him that they were going to be going to Wisconsin to see my baby on the 9th. Obviously he is not welcome anywhere near myself or my son. My brother and one of our aunts (dads sister) are trying to convince him its a terrible idea and absolutely not the way to rekindle a relationship with me, but I know him so Im doubtful they’ll have much success.

My current plan for if he shows up at my house is to not engage, not even open the door, and just immediately call the non emergency line and ask for an officer to escort him off of my property as he is not welcome and is trespassing. Is that the best way to do it? Or is there something else I need to do?
