I'm sorry but there are not enough facts. What kind of custody order was in your mailbox? Did she file for divorce? It sounds as if you should contact police for missing children or the District Attorney's office for kidnapped children. You have a right to visit with your children under California law. Also, you can file for divorce and request the Court for custody or if she filed for divorce, you can file paperwork requesting custody or at least visitation with your children.
