 The kids have a share in the ancestral property of their father. If the guardianship of the kids is with the mother, she can file a suit on behalf of the minors for seperating their share in the property for their benefit. But if the court have not decided upon guardianship, then you can very well defend this issue as you are also their natural guardian and is also safeguarding their interest  in the property.

Hindus have two seperate school of private laws one is "Mitakshara" and another is "Daybahga" basically applicable to Eastern India like Bengalis, Biharis etc.,  where the children have no rights over the ancestral property till father is alive and accordingly cannot make any claim. It could not be understood from the query which private law is applicable to you.

Children  of Hindus have right by birth. The difference in Mithashra is that  alongwith the father children  jontly hold the ancestral property. In Daybhaga  property  children can  make the claim  for their share only after the death of their  father . That is the only difference.
