Your brother needs to contact the police to report them as missing persons or a possible kidnapping. Your brother needs to make a concerted effort to locate her whereabouts and the childrens whereabouts. Once he locates them, he can file for divorce papers to bring her back or restrain her from leaving the state or county with the children.

For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.

As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
