You are wanting to do something that is not in the best interests of the chilren, but you are wanting to do it simply because it will make your life easier.
It is my belief that you will not find a Tennessee court willing to do it, unless you have another father-to-be ready to adopt the children to replace the bio-dad.
I suspect that the reason your attorney can not find a Tennessee case authorizing what you want to do is because there are none.
Stop focusing on what YOU want (getting rid of the ex entirely) and start focusing on what your children should have -- a father in their lives and his financial support.
