I would say, that it depends on why you don't have custody of your children in the first place! If they gave custody to your ex, there must have been a reason and they will still look into that reason! If there was drug abuse, child abuse, problems in your life (I am just giving examples) they will be sure that you are clean before they would give you temp. custody while your ex is gone. If the step-mother can give the children a stable home that they are used to, they may let them stay with her. It may depend a lot on what happened the first time around with custody! Hope this helps. Good luck to you!
