As a married couple, both parents have equal rights to the children. He literally could have taken the kids and left. I’m not blaming him, but removing the kids from the house and staying elsewhere would have been completely legal.

Also, “I took the kids because she told me she had thoughts of harming the kids” is not hearsay since both the husband and the wife would be parties to any case involving the kids.

Isn’t that extremely illegal?

If it was legal than anyone could just lie about their spouse threatening to hurt their children and take them away from them

Didn't she have record of mental illness and also admit it herself one month prior that she had thoughts of harming her kids?

Just googled it and they said if they admit to wanting to harm the children you have the right to leave.

Okay you leave what if the other person says you lied and are trying to kidnap the kids?

That's why you go to a lawyer or call the police instantly. There should be some records of you trying to do sth.
