What role should a new significant other play in our children's lives, and how can we set appropriate boundaries?

A new significant other should gradually integrate into the children's lives, starting with a supportive and friendly role while respecting existing family dynamics. Establish clear boundaries and expectations for their involvement, ensuring they complement the parental roles without overstepping. It is often ideal for the two co-parents to discuss the role of new partners to make sure everyone is on the same page.
