A: Depends. What do your court orders say? If she is referring to the custody/visitation orders when she says she has the legal right to pick them up, then she is probably correct. It's difficult to say without knowing what your court orders say. If you are asking whether the fact that your children tested positive means you do not have to comply with court orders, you are probably wrong about that.
