Abandonment

What is the name of your state? WI

My brother's wife up and left him and took their two children. She
moved to another state/Illinois, after living in Wisconsin for 7 years.
I'd like to give my brother some "real" advice. If my husband moved
out one day with my children, I'd be out for blood. These kids are
his kids too.

more info

no she did not file for a divorce or separation before
leaving with the kids. She just left and moved in
with her father. Now claims that her father is paying
for divorce lawyer and filing of the paperwork.

Is this legal? What can he do to get his kids back? Should he call
the police (kidnapping)? Find a lawyer?

Lawyer and you might want to keep out of this and let a man mature enough to have kids handle his own life now!

Its not kidnapping. She has equal rights to the children and it was perfectly legal for her to do what she did. He needs to get himself an attorney.

I guess you didn't read the part about his wife's FATHER is paying for her
lawyer and also providing a home/food and shelter for her and the children. My brother and I never had a father and our mother died in 2003. I'm the only family he has besides his children...I'll be involved so long and as far as he needs me.

Thanks.
