Re: Child Custody

If there are currently no court orders regarding the children, then no. HOWEVER, that is not a smart way to handle the situation. She will immediately be able to get an order requiring you to return the children, and then you are back where you started, only with a black mark on you with the judge. Much smarter to file the petition, and get have a hearing to establish temporary custody.
