Termination of parenthood

Well, friends, I have another prayer request for ya'll!!! I was in court again today, filing the last(hopefully)of papers to terminate the parenting relationship John Miller has with my children. There has been no contact from him since before Christmas to them, and twice only to me, both times not the greatest conversation...legal counsel portrays this as abandonement of children, so I am moving forward to make it legal. I am praying constantly about this, as even I still hold reservations about such a momentous move, but I will do anything to protect my children from hurt. God knows, and I ask you to please, remember me in your prayers...
