Is a divorced woman obligated to obey her father in his refusal to allow her to have her children, or does she have the right to file a lawsuit demanding their custody?

Obedience to parents is obligatory in matters where they have a valid purpose. However, if the father has no justification for preventing his daughter from fostering her children, then obedience to him is not obligatory. There is no blame on her if she refers the matter to the court should the situation necessitate it.
