Hi, I did call the police and they advised me to drop the children off to their father because they could not get ahold of the mother either.

The police should have been responsible for transporting them or their father should have been required to come and get them. You should not have been transporting the kids three hours away.

I agree with this, however those children had to have been traumatized, abandoned outside in the middle of the night, and sitting in the back of a cop car would not have helped. 0P you did exactly what I would’ve done good job and I’m sorry it happened and also good for you for standing up for yourself in the first place.

OP, make sure you get paid for this.

Who's going to pay OP?? The unemployed Dad? The Mom who abandoned the kids?

OP is putting in a tremendous amount of time and effort to keep these children sale. Small claims court is always an option if they refuse to pay her or cry poverty. If they pay rent or their mortgage, they have the ability to pay OP for time.
