What can I do if my spouse is not allowing me to meet our children?

If there is an existing court order specifying your visitation rights, and your spouse is violating it without valid reason, you can file a contempt application or an application for enforcement of the visitation order — courts take violation of custody and visitation orders seriously, since it directly affects the child's relationship with you.

If there's no formal order yet and this is simply an informal arrangement being disregarded, it would be advisable to formalise the arrangement through a court order as soon as possible, both to have a clear, defined schedule and to give you an enforceable right if it's violated going forward.

Courts can also consider persistent, unjustified denial of visitation as a factor if custody arrangements are later reviewed, since it reflects on the custodial parent's willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent. Document each instance where visitation was denied — dates and any communication about it — as this will support whichever application your lawyer recommends filing.
