Remember, that telling someone you are going to do something isn't the same things as getting their CONSENT to do it. Right now, you both have joint custody under the law and he has a right to lawful care and charge of the children just as you are.
Perception is a very key thing to consider in all this. You may not intend for your action to be something but, the court may perceive it as something totally different.
If you are going to do something like this, even for a week, you should make an offer for the children to reside with you for a week, him to have access on Wednesday of the week and then, he has the kids for a week and you have access to the kids on Wednesday. Equal is better than taking them, telling him and thinking that it is "ok" to do. It is simply NOT.

Now, just to warn you much of this reads as one-time incidents. The court will NOT take away children from parents for this generally. I know this sounds like crazy talk because they impact you. But, you need to consider a number of factors that the courts will consider. The court looks at things with a much larger and broader stroke than you will. You are best to retain a lawyer who can assess your situation better.
You are advised to read this posting to see how a judge tackles the difficulty with the term "abuse": http://www.ottawadivorce.com/forum/f...ase-law-16809/
