Friends Former Partner Won't Move Out

There must be more to this than you know or your friend is saying.

She has told him that she is going nowhere and has seen a solicitor so she and her children can remain in the property until they come of age and he is the one who will be going.
He contacted a solicitor and was told she could get residency even though they are not his biologically and he is the owner.

I honestly don't understand how a solicitor said to her that your friend would be the one going.  It's his house.  They are not together.  They are not his kids.  They've been together 3 years.
The whole thing makes no sense so I can only assume your friend is not being honest with you.

She is out of the house for 35 hours a week.  Change the locks.

She thinks because her children are under 19 and our friend earns more and is mortgage free he should let them live there until they reach 19.
She thinks our friend should rent somewhere or live with a relative or friend.

Doesn't matter what she thinks. What matters is the legal position. Which is that unless she applies for an occupancy order she has no rights to stay there. 
"Could get residency" is not the same as "will get residency."  And I still think that there's been some miscommunication with the solicitor that he spoke to.

Well she can think that all she likes, the kids are not his and therefore this doesn't apply. If they were his kids she could potentially get a court order to stay in the house until they are 18/19 
She is chatting pure rubbish and your friend needs to ignore it all and tell her she needs to leave.

I doubt she has even 'seen' a solicitor.   My partner had an ex telling him this for over 2 years, even gave him fake solicitor details.  Your fiend is letting this woman manipulate him.

shes an idiot

She seems slightly deluded... this is not the legal position and your friend needs to take back control of the situation immediately

Is your friend married to this woman?

Change the locks and state that her kids can stay for 7 days but she can’t, and if she enters the house then you will revoke your offer of letting her kids stay.

she has no rights

Given the situation the locks should be changed - either when she's out or after she has gone, for his own peace of mind.
And he needs to grow a pair.
