No, it is not appropriate. She is not needed at the hearings for any reason whatsoever. In fact, it may make an extremely poor impression on the judge and judges have a lot of decisions to make during a contested divorce.

Most times divorcing couples bring a new mate to proceedings simply to annoy their soon to be ex-spouse. Remember, although everyone these days seems to move on long before the divorce, it is not recognized as a wise move by authorities. It makes a clear indication that the parent isn't overly concerned with their children and helping those children cope with the traumatic divorce. It's a big red flag waving over the one who brings the present girlfriend or boyfriend to court- a red flag that reveals whose needs are the most important to them.
