Can my husband (separated) take my children away from me?

[oneeezy]

I'm a mother with 2 girls (ages 3 and 6..) and live in Texas. We have been separated for 4 months now and have tried to manage seeing each other/sharing our children.. my girls stay w/ me on a daily basis and he will come visit them 2 to 3 times a week.. Well, he found out that I got a sitter this past Friday so I could go out with some friends. He was very upset about it.. about 10 minutes ago I got a phone call from him telling me that I better get a lawyer because I'm not getting my girls back! I don't know what to do... If anyone's been in the same boat as me please give me some advice. I need to know what my options are and if he can really even do that.

Thanks for your help

Get an attorney. File for divorce. You can't force him to return the children without a court order.

Don't you mean OUR children? Yours AND his?
