You need a lawyer. She might be able to get them back b/c the courts like to keep biological PARENT(S) and kids together. On the other hand, the court may see it that in the best interests of the kids ("BIK"), they stay where they are. Your atty might ask for a "law guardian" to rep the kids and see what is in their BIK. If you are on Long Island, call (631) 848-1204
Generally, parents do have a greater legal right to children, as a result she may be successful but the family courts are generally also quite good at local at the totality of circumstances.
