More details to this question:
We are getting divorced. A big part of it is his mother interfering in how we raise the children. He does not want to cut her off even though she yells at them and makes them feel horrible about themselves. I want him to be able to spend time with the kids, but not her. Is this possible?

It is possible but you will have to prove why she should not be with the children.

Once you have a parenting plan, unless there is something more than you indicated, his mother can see the kids during his time. She gets no time beyond that. If he leaves the kids with her too often during his time, you may have a basis to ask the court to require him to spend the time with the kids or have his time reduced.

You can ask that he be ordered to limit the amount of time the children are exposed to the grandmother as part of a custody trial or consent order. If it is a contested hearing, you would have to actually put on evidence showing that the children being exposed to grandmother was harmful to them and that it is in their best interest to have their exposure to her limited.
