Is the travel of the wife and children without the husband's knowledge or permission, after a dispute between them, and her request to reside in the husband's house prepared for her family, considered Nushooz (disobedience), and is she entitled to maintenance and housing if divorced?

If a wife travels without her husband's permission, this is considered an act of defiance (nushooz) that forfeits her right to maintenance and housing, including housing during her iddah (waiting period). However, the maintenance and housing of the children remain obligatory and are not forfeited by the mother's nushooz. It is advisable not to rush into divorce and to seek reconciliation.
