Meeting the Ex-Husband for the Sake of Their Children

Question
Is it permissible for a divorced woman to be with her ex-husband in the presence of their children so that they do not neglect their father?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for her to remain with her children and ex-husband in one place if there is a private setting between them, as this could lead to temptation, unless she is accompanied by her mahrams, such as her mother or similar, in order to ensure safety from temptation. And God knows best.
