You are committing adultery. It does not matter how long you have been separated -- until you divorce, you are still married in the eyes of the law. If you have minor children, the fact that you are committing adultery could absolutely be used against you in custody proceedings.

Get a lawyer. I repeat, get a lawyer. I cannot stress it strongly enough.

You are commiting adultery, which is a crime, and also may affect custody and other issues.

You have serious problems and could face a very bad outcome based on what you posted, and your present relationship may pose the biggest problem.

I repeat - get a lawyer. You need one.
