If my wife and I recently split up and the divorce is just starting, what can I do if I feel that our children’s safety at risk during the time that they are with their mother?

We live in separate households and currently exchange children back and forth. Divorce papers still need to be served. I left my wife due to her use of methamphetamine and her inability to quit. I am quite certain she still uses it in her house. My 2 year old son has been in the ER 3 times for asthma attacks only when around her and their clothes have a cat urine smell on them when dropped off. No cats in her household. What are my options here and what is the best way to handle this situation for my kids sake?
