I know every state is different, but in my state, you'd have to have termination of your ex's parental rights in order for your present husband to adopt them. Either he could voluntarily sign or the judge could order them after a hearing, but either way, an adoption couldn't happen before the tpr. As long as he's paying child support, no matter how far in arrears he is, the state can't automatically tpr him.
