I realize that the state won't terminate his parental rights because of the child support. I also know that I am grasping at straws. My kids love my husband and I feel such a strong need to protect them from their father. He is poison. I have been very careful not to put him down in front of them, and I tell them that he loves them but the court won't let him see them right now, but they aren't blind. They have been through so much. I know in MT that 12 is the age of consent for adoption, but what exactly does that mean? How would I even have him served without a physical address? I also wonder if I should just let things rest because I know he won't be able to see the kids any time soon, but I don't want to just sit back and wait for the next pin to drop. My kids have started using my husband's last name on whatever school papers their teachers allow them too. Man, I just can't see him giving up his rights. It is all about control.
