Mortality clause in separation agreement

What is the most common length of time before new romantic partners can be introduced to children? Similarly for overnights what are the most commonly used or recommended stipulations?

Ultimately these parameters are set by the parents and vary from case to case. However, many parents tend to agree that a parent must be in an exclusive dating relationship for at least six months prior to introducing the children to the new significant other and prior to having the significant other spend the night.
