Meeting of the Spouses After Divorce in One Place

Question
A husband divorced his wife through khula while she is in another country. She now wants to come to see her children, who do not know about their parents' divorce. Is it permissible for them to meet in the house with the children in the presence of a mahram, considering the children's emotional well-being?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: After the divorce, they have become strangers to each other, so it is not permissible for them to be alone together. If it is possible to achieve what you are saying without being alone and with a third person present, it is permissible; otherwise, it is not. And God knows best.
