My exes friend messaged me

My ex the father of my children we broke up more than 5 months ago due to domestic violence… He always had a close friend that through the years me and him also because close as I was also his wife’s bestie at that time.. He messaged me today at 5 in the morning i found this strange as if this was on his mind I know my ex was at his place a night ago So he probably was talking about our up coming hearing . He then texted me “ do not tell anyone I gave you this information..” “ file for a emergency ex parte and gave me a number to call then he said to postpone the hearing so that I can prepare better .. And he said something about how there’s better attorneys than the one I previously had

I’m so confused to what he is really trying to tell me because I know it took a lot for him to basically betray his friend that he has known from childhood.. I tried asking him if he is telling me this because my ex told him he was planning on doing anything Or because he was getting worse and he doesn’t want the kids to be with him ! Their dad has a history of drug addiction and domestic violence also he was diagnosed with a lot of mental illnesses and was hearing voices before I left him . Why do you guys think he’s friend would tell me this!! Should I trust it!! I do trust his friend he has been someone that always had my back through all the abuse .. he would try to help me and would tell him that he was wrong for abusing me Ugh WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK 🤔 My mom has been telling me there something going on .. she feels there’s something that his family is doing to try and take my kids from me so he can have them . His enabling mother is paying for his attorney
