Name: james1001   Title: My separated wife is sleeping with another man around my 10

What is the law? Can I prevent my wife who I am divorcing from bringing her boyfriend into her bedroom next to the kids rooms. The 10 year old and 2 year old and 3 year old are seeing this man every day and he is now living in the house most nights. My 10 year old son had a melt down once already.

There is legal recourse. You can have your attorney add a clause to your divorce agreement stating that neither party can have another adult partner in the home overnight with the kids at home until the parent is married.
The previous advice about moving back in would be best if you can reconcile. However, it would depend on the circumstances for which you are divorcing. Is there some reason you are not seeking custody of the children?

There is no law preventing this. It is morally reprehensible, but it is not illegal.

However, it sounds like you moved out of the house and are not otherwise spending time with your kids. Why is that occurring? If you are only separated and not divorced and if your home is owned jointly by you and your wife, you can and should move back into the marital home. If the house is in both your names, she cannot legally stop you from moving back in. If you do move back in, she will undoubtedly stop bringing the new boyfriend over. It will also give you more time with your kids, which is where your focus should be anyway.
