Since the children are not yours you are unlikely to get custody. However, you can file for divorce under abandonment if she has been gone more than a year. I would be happy to represent you in the divorce.

Feel free to contact me, free of charge, at [email protected] or at 330-447-7634. I am happy to help in any way that I can.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
