1. He does not have to have his own place, As long as he is living with his parents he can have visitation. However, there should be a place for the children to sleep.
2. It depends on what his medical problem is. In Utah unless the children have actually be harmed you will not get any attention to "potential" injuries - only after an actual injury, except if he lives with known drug dealers or your ex is using.
3. If you have a court order, you must obey that order. If there is an order you need to make your children available to visitation. If there is no order, you can refuse visitation.
4. You can get an order that requires your ex to not allow the children around any one who denigrates you. You may be able to get a court order restricting him from having his g/f around when he has the children.
5. Not likely. You can garnish his wages - use ORS.
6. Call around the lawyers in your area.
