My sister-in-law( SIL) left her husband and 2 kids about 1 month ago. she left and had not seen the kids in over a week. She left with her so called nasty boyfriend and is doing drugs, and drinking ALOT. about 3 weeks ago she called the cops and said her mom and dad were keeping the kids from her. That was a lie she left and that was the same week she didn't see the kids. The cops came and took the kids. they said by law they have to. Alen her husband was at work and her mom and dad were watching the kids. Well it has been a battle since then with her. she won't let anyone see the kids except Alen. She will not talk to anybody. She took those kids that night to her nasty BF camper and stayed there. Well a little later that night my brother drove by to see if she and the kids were there. NO she dropped them off the her BF moms house. So that her and her BF could sleep together. She really does not want the kids she just wants to make everyone else mad. anyways to make a long long story short. She now has the kids and she has them hidden somewhere no one knows where, not even Alen. There has to be something he can do to keep those kids away from her. What is it he can do and how much money will it take. Also about the money they filed for bankrupcey 6 months ago. Can he get help with the money part. I want these kids to be safe and I am afriad they will be hurt around her. They are never in carseats she drives like a crazy person and not to metion she may eveb be driving while on drugs or drinking. SHe really does not want them she just wants to tick everybody else in the family off, adn she wants child support. Of which will not be spent on the kids. THere has been nothing filed yet just gathering info and help would be greaat./
Thank you for reading my long story.

I would petition the court for an emergency hearing---and I would also call social services and report this rampant child abuse and neglect, if what you are saying is true.
The mother has no right to keep the children from the father, short of having a court order allowing her to do so and instructing him to stay away.
Petition the court for an emergency hearing to show cause. At that hearing, provide dates, times, police reports, etc. to show ILLEGAL and reckless endangerment to the children ( leaving with a "nasty bf" isn't illegal). Leaving the kids alone is. Also, leaving them with the BF's mom isnt necessarily neglectful--in fact, if she is a good person, it may be better than the kids being with MOM.
You do realize, though, that 80% of your posting is conjecture? Unless you have photos or police reports or eyewitness testimony concerning her drug use and other things you say she is doing, it is merely word against word----the court sees this DAILY.
Consult your phone book for fathers rights groups, or legal aid for those who qualify financially. Also, a low cost or even free consultation with a family law attorney would be advisable as well.
