If a husband and wife are seperated but have not gone to see a lawyer yet about a divorce and custody issues can the mother keep the children away from the father until such time or does she have to let him see the kids.

Re: children

Both parties have custody until a court rules otherwise so in most cases it will look very bad to a court that one parent hid the children. That should not be done except on the explicit advice of your divorce attorney. She doesn't "have" to do anything though unless a court rules; it just may be a dumb move on her part unless she can show very good cause.
