Yes, depending on the circumstances. Generally, the parent who has custody must be deemed unfit for the court to remove the children from their custody. You should seek advice from an attorney who specializes in custody issues in the jurisdiction where the children reside.
The non-custodial parent can go to court and request custody of the children. A judge will decide which parent should be awarded custody of the children.
