It isn't exactly illegal, but it isn't right. You need to petition the court for an order granting you some custody of the children. Then, if she violates that order, she will be in contempt of court.

If you have an ex-wife, then the judgment for dissolution of marriage should make provision for custody and visitation, If it does not, then you can seek relief from the court that entered the divorce. Unless there is a court order for visitation, you have no enforceable rights, if one of you has custody of the children.

If she refuses to let you see the children, you will need to file a Motion with the court.

The reality here is that without court orders for legal decision making authority, and parenting time, there is nothing for a police officer or sheriff's deputy to enforce. Speak with an experienced family law attorney and he or she will explain to you the process needed to obtain parenting time orders.that an officer can assist in enforcing.
