In general, if there is a court ordered custody agreement regarding the kids, a violation of that order could result in problems for you, both criminal and civil. If there is no court order regarding custody, you could leave island with your kids. If you do that you should immediately file for custody in the state that you go to. You should also obtain some type of identification for the children if you leave so there is no question regarding your being a parent. A passport would be best although an original birth certificate could also do.
