Can your ex-spouse cohabitate with someone of the opposite sex and have your children there?
My husband, soon to be ex, has a 25 year old woman living in his house. He says that she is helping him with bills and will be there to watch the kids if they want to be there when he is out of town. Is this legal?

Under the laws of all states in this country, what you have written about with respect to the co-habitation issues of your soon to be former husband and his "roommate" is not illegal. However, I have seen child custody orders stating that such a "roommate" cannot be around the minor children of the marriage under appropriate circumstances.
I suggest that you may wish to consult further with a family law attorney about your matter to see what your legal options are.
