What is the name of your state? WA
Here I am in the U.S. but I have a child support order from Ontario Canada. My ex currently owes me over 35,000.00 in child support and continues to work under the table to avoid garnishment. I have since married and my husband loves my children and wants to adopt them. Oh and for all you people who think that it is a bad idea you don't know what you're talking about! My ex lost visitation because he refused to do a hair follicle test to determine if he had quit using drugs. Anyone who chooses to not see their children because they can't stay clean to submit to a drug test shouldn't have access to children! So, my question is can my husband adopt my kids if my ex won't give up parental rights? Isn't there some way of removing his rights because he hasn't been paying his support? And in what jursitiction does this all fall? Do I have to take in action in Canada or can it be done here in the U.S. since this is where the children reside? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would've done it a long time ago. He stays under the radar working jobs that pay him off the books and he doesn't file tax returns so it makes him difficult to find. Although if I could afford it I would definately hire a P.I.
