Well then, you should contact a local family law attorney and go through all of the facts with him or her. You may contact your local bar association for a referral.

Attempting to kill herself twice is harmful to the children. To make matters worse, I understand they are with her parents; however no one else, including you can see them. Without knowing all the facts, this is unacceptable. The children must be in a safe home. As father, you have parental rights over a grandparent.

Consult with an experienced family law attorney, immediately, but under that scenario, you likely could obtain custody.

I am assuming there has been a court action which gave your former wife custody. If that is the case, you need to file a Motion for Ex Parte custody. That means you file a Motion setting forth the facts(her suicide attempts, your inability to be with your children) and then you will get an Order granting you temporary custody until such time as a hearing is scheduled.

Yes, you can certainly file for emergency ex parte (without a hearing) custody with the information you have supplied. You should contact an attorney immediately for assistance, or contact your local clerk's office to see if they have any forms for such if you can't afford a lawyer.
