If you and yuor husband can't work things out you two will spend thousands of dollars on legal fees to have the Court straighten it out for you; and still neither of you will be satisfied. As the mother you have the right to pick the children up and to keep them. If he continues to refuse you visitation with the children you should go to legal aid, assuming your can't afford legal services, and file for divorce or a legal separation. How old are the children?
