It's really up to your boyfriend to speak to his kids and convince them that you care about them and they have nothing to fear in being in your company. There is no basis for a restraining order unless you have done something threatening or damaging to the kids. When he has visitation he should gradually work you into the visits so the kids can judge you for themselves. If the case is in court on visitation issues, your boyfriend can ask the court to order the mother to refrain from this conduct.
