More details to this question:
My kids' dad and I are not yet divorced but we are separated. His girlfriend lives with him and she is the one talking to me about decisions involving my kids. Now she is telling me I can't come to their house to see them when we both have custody at the moment. What rights do I have?

Custody is not the issue here. If you don't have a parenting plan you must get one. That will allocate time with the children between the two of you. It sounds like all you have is some sort of private agreement with the father. That is neither legally binding nor enforceable. It's the perfect way to set up this kind of manipulation. Get a parenting plan and order of child support.

You can't go to her house because she has the right to keep you off her property. I assume that you have a place for the children to stay as well, so you see them then and tell her she can't come onto your property.

The girlfriend has no rights. You may need a judge to make it very clear to your husband and his girlfriend.

You certainly have more rights than the girlfriend.

Lots to your kids, none to her house. Do your parenting time elsewhere.
