It is difficult to give you firm answers without first reviewing the documents in question. You may want to consider a guardianship proceeding, so that you can make legal decisions regarding the children.

I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Good luck to you!

You need to communicate with the father as quickly as you can regarding these matters. If mom does not return quickly, may need to take action on behalf of your grandkids. If mom returns, may wish to get power of attorney from her prior to taking other action. 800-685-6950
