Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Divorce

My girlfriend and I want to co-habitate. But she says she cant because of her divorce situation. She says she cant risk the kids being around me because of the custody battle. She is most definitely legally seperated. Whats going on here ? I thought that when your legally seperated your private life was just that, private.
