More details to this question:
My step children have lived with us full time for the past three years. He is in military and we recently received orders that the boys biological mother who has a history of using drugs, being arrested, etc. decided she wants to move here and is moving in with a roommate. She wants to know pursue the visitation agreement for having them every other week. She hasn't been stable in the boy’s life for three years, and now, is moving in with a roommate. Is there any way to restrict this? I’m worried for the boys’ safety, since she hasn't ever been a stable mother for three years.

It depends if there are court orders. If there are no court orders, then deny the visitation until the mother goes to court and then request supervised visitation so the children are safe. If there are existing court orders, then the father will have to go to court to ask that the orders be modified so the children are safe.
