Treat her cordially. Don't be rude or mean but just keep her at arm's length. Talk to your nieces and nephews but never bad mouth her. If they ask questions change the subject or ask your brother for your advice. If she starts talking to you about personal stuff going on between her and your brother, tell her you are not comfortable discussing that and just move on. Think of her as a co-worker you don't really like but you have to get along with

Me personally i dont feel that you should sugar coat ****. I would let her know how ****** up and dirty she is for marring your brother when she knew deep down in her heart that she was not ready to settle down. Its good in all that your brother wanna keep evertything togeather for the sake of the family but sometimes a man gotta do what a man gotta do and that just might consist of leaving her *** and getting joint custody of his kids he can still be in there life and not with there mom . Your brother probley deserve a better women than that anyway. So if i was you i would let her kno the was wrong for that and stick by your brother side and be there for him because he will need you to get thru this and ultimatley he will thank you for that because blood is thicker that water.

That is rough. I don't know if I could do it, but I would try.
My brother's wife has not done anything like that, but she is constantly flirting, coming on to other men, etc. I keep it friendly because I have three nieces. I love them and don't want to cause any turmoil in their lives.
