Re: a couple seperated without (legal) separation. children are involved.
Let me see if I get this --
you and your spouse are separated--
your spouse is living with someone--
you are still legally married--
no one has filed for divorce--
you cannot see the kids--
no one is paying child support.
Based on those facts, file for divorce and ask for temporary orders you will get visitation and you will be ordered to pay child support.
You can ask the Judge not to allow any one in the house of the opposite sex overnight or from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. if the children are in the house.
If you want custody, you need to file for divorce and get temporary orders.
