Why were the children living with the grandparents? Where were you all this time? Yes, legally if you are entitled to them through custody granted by the court, you have the right to have them. But because grandparents have been looking after them for some years, they are technically considered the guardians at the moment. You should seek their approval and let them know that you are taking the children. And see what happens. Contact an attorney if there is any dispute.
