How can I protect my iPhone from hackers?
Everything I do on my phone is being monitored and filtered from phone calls, bank calls, emails, etc… someone has total access to my phone. What should I do?

This is not true. My ex husband has my phone connected to his Mac computer. Do I need to press charges against him for hacking my phone or is there another way to remove it?

It is nearly impossible to hack an iPhone and control it remotely. Can you provide specific examples of why you believe that your iPhone has been hacked?
Meanwhile, if you believe that your Apple ID has been compromised, then change the password to your Apple ID. Open Settings ➡️ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) ➡️ Password & Security ➡️ Change Password.
Once the above is done, then I recommend that you change the passwords to all of your bank accounts, credit card accounts and email accounts.

Create a strong password for your Apple ID, It is best if your password consists of eight or more characters and include upper and lowercase letters, and at least one number. You can also add extra characters and punctuation marks to make your password even stronger.
Never provide your password, passcode, security questions, verification codes, recovery key or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information.

-> remove the device that is not yours.
What do you mean by "connected to your husbands computer"? Did you previously sync and backup to his computer? Are you sharing an Apple ID with him? If no, does he know your current Apple ID password? Do you have a strong passcode and Apple ID password? Did he jailbreak your iPhone?
Is it because he is logged into iCloud on that MacBook? Have you tried to change your password? (I know that sounds silly because that's literally the first thing people would do) but, I THINK, I'm not sure, that it would log out of all other devices. Also, If you go to your Apple settings, scroll to the bottom where it says devices you are logged into, click the one you wish to remove, and then use the "remove" button and that will log the MacBook out. Hope this helps!

Changing your password doesn't sign you out. It just makes you confirm the new password on all devices before you can (effectively) use them.

That is correct.
My iPhone is on my ex husbands computer and he monitors everything I do. How can I remove it?
my phone is going on apps by itself and i am only a kid
You probably have a failing digitizer, click on the Get Support link at the top right of this page to start the service process to get your display unit replaced.
I agree with Axel. It's almost impossible to hack an iPhone.
