Do you have court ordered visitation rights? If so, you and file a violation of a court order. If there is no legal agreement through the court, she doesn't have to let you see them. If you have no court papers about visitation, I would suggest that you go file them in family court. I am not sure if you would have to file in her hometown or not, but if you call your local family court, they can let you know what to do. Also ask them about what your legal rights are and if there is a way that they can be checked on for you. If you do not make enough money for a lawyer, look into getting a DA or check your area for a lawyer how gets paid pro bono. Good luck to you!
