While a divorce is pending without an order from the court stating how a situation should be addressed both parents have a right to see their children just as they did before the action was initiated. If your wife refuses letting you see your children than you may want to make a motion with the court for the judge to order such visitation rights. As far as your girlfriend if she happens to be around you while with the children again without an explicit order that she cannot be from the court you are allowed to have the children around her and anyone else you choose.
I would assume you have an attorney handling the divorce and if so ask them to help you make a motion for the court to order your wife allow access to the children. Otherwise you may want to speak with an attorney who can help you with this process. Good luck and feel free to post again with additional questions.
