Hi there
Unless there is a serious and immediate risk of harm to the children, this wouldn't be advisable. even though you have parental responsibility, as you. Have been prevented from seeing them and took them out of the blue, it's certain the police would be involved and the chances are you would make your position much worse.
There are other options available to you if you are being prevented from seeing your children and the first step would be mediation
www.nfm.org.uk
This is a requirement before a court application can be made, if it fails or the mother refuses to attend, the mediator will sign off the form to enable you to apply for a Child Arrangements Order for contact.
There's lots of info in the stickys at the top of the legal eagle section which you may find useful. Many members have taken this course of action without using a solicitor and it is doable.
Ricky,
I'm no expert mate, but as Mojo say's - don't just take them fella - it REALLY WOULDN'T look good, or do you any favours at all WHEN (not if) it goes to court!
You really, really, really need to 'follow the system' to the letter mate, no matter what your ex says or does to you...YOU really need to be whiter than white mate - don't take the chance sir - it'd probably end in tears - and it'll be your tears, if you do!
Guy.
