Wife left with Kids...where to start

I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this. I am not entirely certain if NC has jurisdiction over your custody case because you have only been here for three months. Your first step should be to consult with an attorney to determine if you should pursue custody in PA or NC.

I am really not sure what I am suppose to do. My wife and I have been married coming up on 4 years and have 2 kids (2 1/2 and 7 months). Every now and then we have arguments but most of them deal with a bad relationship between her mom and I. Anyway we had an argument last week she said her family wanted her to leave me. We talked all weekend and seemed to have come to a good spot. But yesterday I came home and she had take all her clothes and some belongings as well as some of our daughters things. I hope we can work through things but I haven’t been able to get her to talk to me. Should I get in touch with a lwayer and document this happenening? We have only lived in NC for a little over 3 months and took the kids (I assume) to her parents in PA. Is she allowed to do that? Please advise.
