Walk away without separation agreement

My wife just took my kids moved to somewhere I don’t know. She had an affair and we were about to separated but she ran away without saying anything or agreement. What are my options to get my kids back?

You will need to file a custody lawsuit against her and possibly an ex parte emergency custody motion, particularly if she left the State of NC with the children. You will need to locate an address for her so you can serve her with the custody lawsuit.
