Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Abandonment and Adoption

I am divorced. Two of my 4 children belong to my ex husband. He has not practices his visitation rights in a year and a half. He does pay child support by force. My present husband of 4 years loves my children and wants to adopt them. I just need to know if I could have my ex husbands rights terminated because of abandonment so my husband can adopt the children.
