Until another person adopts these kids, he will be paying child support.

First, you cannot legally change their names without his permission. Second, The likelihood of getting is rights terminated is extremely slim. Generally, a court will only grant a TPR to clear the way for an adoption or if the parent represents a danger to the children.
