Seems pretty straightforward to me. He took the kids to be with his family, then the marriage broke down while he was there with the kids. Had the marriage not broke down maybe she was going to go for a vacation, then they all would come home together?

If they went in December 2015, their visas would have been expired by March 2016. If she was planning to follow them down in May, the kids would need to have new visas and would have needed to apply for those while outside the country, unless they were planning on entering on an ETA visa and applying for a long stay visa once there (which doesn't make much sense). So there would have had to be plans for them to leave Australia before the end of March at the latest.
There are long stay visas, but those allow for stays up to 12 months and she said the visas expired long ago, not within the last few weeks.
