You have the same rights that any other parent has to help in raising your children. You can fight for the right to be the primary residential parent (the parent whom the children reside with). If not, you will have visitation rights. You also will have the same obligations which includes paying child support if she is designated as the primary residential parent by a court. You will also be responsible to help with child care, if any, and medical bills for the children. She will not be entitled to receive any monies for herself, however.
