If I’m getting divorced and my wife plans on staying with the lover with whom she cheated, do I have any options to keep him away from my kids?
Maybe a restraining order? He is married too. My soon to be ex is a good mother and we plan on 50/50 custody. My only problem is her lover being around my kid. I believe their relationship is a toxic relationship based on a double infedelity (he is married too), and that he is a bad influence and will have a negative impact on my children (based on the fact he is a immoral liar and a cheat).

I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to discuss your concerns and desire to obtain a restrrining order to protect your children with respect to the fact pattern that you are writing about.
Ordinarily under the laws of all states in this country the court does not grant a request for a restraining order unless there is an imminent threat of harm to a given person. Unless you can prove an imminent threat of harm to your children by the person you want them to be kept from, the chance of you getting what you desire seems remote.
