No, it's not legal for anyone to "steal" someone's children. However, if they are married, then he has as much right to the children as she does, until and unless the Family Court says otherwise. If they are separating or she wants to separate, then she needs to consult an experienced family law attorney a.s.a.p. to discuss her options with regard to these issues.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
