Possibly, you can visit the United States on a visitor's visa or a visa waiver.

As to the child support, it's not clear from your post if you were required to pay child support for your children under a court order.

It seems that your children are not minors anymore.

If you know where you kids live, you may want to contact them in advance to see if they want to see you.
