You need to fight the motion based upon the "best interests of the children." You are going to need concrete evidence of the issues that you have brought up here and you should consider speaking with an attorney as soon as you can. Good luck.

Given the concerns that you have with respect to the petition for visitation rights by the person that you have written about, I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about the situation and the best way to oppose the motion. You might also consider retaining a private investigator to do a background check on the person who is seeking visitation rights with your children.
