I'm not sure I understand.

The father lives in the US.

The kids live in Guatemala.

Guatemala has jurisdiction over the children if they live in that country. Right now, the US has no right to issue a court order over the children because they do not live in this country.

If the kids come to the United States then he can get custody of the children.
