@mrworld9 I don't really agree with Treena, because it literally states in the directive 2004 " The right of entry of your third country family members is derived from their family ties with you, a Union citizen. All the Member State consular officials can ask for is their passport and a document establishing their family ties with you, such as marriage or birth certificate and proof of dependence, where applicable. Your family members cannot be asked to present documents such as travel tickets, employment certificate, pay slips, bank statements, proof of accommodation and means of subsistenceor a medical certificate". I am confident that Solvit will help you out.
Though, I'd like to remind you that whatever you do it should be based on the EU law and not national law. I don't see any reason why you want to waste $2000 as your family is entitled to stay in all the member states up to 3 months without any additional requirements. The only thing that you need to show is a proof that you and your family are indeed intending to visit Sweden ( the proof can be any hotel reservation, flight ticket, insurance, etc...). I think with Solvit you gotta be patient, and if they can't do anything for you , I'd highly recommend you to lodge a complaint at the European Commission ( it takes long but it is more effective than national migration court). Good luck
