Settled and depressed

Not true.
Upon my separation, when I walked in to the court house, seeking advice, I was told to "take my child and leave." I questioned "Is that not kidnapping?" He said "No, without a present custody order, you both have custody. Either parent can take the child. An Emergency Motion will not be granted, unless there is crucial evidence, such as a travel ticket out of the country."
 
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night - that that's not true.

If your ex takes off with the kids without notice, like to a shelter, you wouldn't know where they were and would get an emergency order (along with a missing persons case) that same day.

If your ex takes off with the kids with notice, like to family's house, you would know where they were. This is not an emergency anymore. If there is no immediate fear, it's not urgent neither. Get to a regular motion (~3 months) asap and get your access back. Although not recommended, I would personally have no issue agreeing to 1 hour a week and then keeping the kids on my next visit.

The biggest caveat - don't abuse your ex!

Wrong.
I am just going to say this one last time and from first hand experience here.
The cops, if they locate them anywhere like at a shelter will say "safe" so no emergency order and the cops won't do sh*t.
Same goes if their lawyer says "the kids are fine"

It may vary from region to region.

If they are all together missing and there is no contact then fine, clearly one can file a missing persons report like anyone would.

Abducting children is abuse and the courts are OK with that abuse. But tell your ex that they are stupid c*nt that should burn in hell well that is bad.
 
I had an order before the police found my ex!

In your case, the kids were found and well - and you didn't go to court therefore waiting until motion. Same great system.

Abduction is criminal. Throwing around big terms for clout is a disservice.
