What to do if my wife claims that she now has custody of our children?
I have sole custody of my children. Their mother and I have been in a custody modification for almost a year now. She takes the children for the first right of refusal and brings the kids home by 8 pm. Today she did not bring the kids home. She sent a text to my mother with a case number and a phone number and told her to tell me the kids have been removed from my custody. I have not been served any paperwork to say this is correct. What do I do?

Since there is now an issue with respect to the presumed custody order between you and your wife as to your children, you need to consult with a family law attorney to see what your legal recourse is since she is not willing to let you have custody of your children where you have sole custody of them.
