She cannot give custody of your children to anyone unless it is court ordered. A notarial act granting provisional custody by mandate has to be by both parents or the natural tutor or tutrix and in your case I do not think those apply. It cannot be granted by one who is the domiciliary parent. So, assuming the twins are who you are talking about, file for custody if you really think you can handle them better than the grandparents.
