A judge cannot force a married couple to stay away from each other if they don't want to. If one party wants the other to stay away, the court has the authority to restrain them with a restraining or protective order in some cases. If the court finds that the children are in danger from one or both parents, they may remove the children from the parents' custody or restrain the dangerous parent from having contact with the children. In the case where a court finds that the husband is abusive to the children, and the wife does not stop it, and the wife wishes to remain with the husband, it is common for the court to remove the children from both parents' custody and place them in state custody because the father is abusing them and the mother is neglecting them by not protecting them from the abusive father.
