American passport issue?

I have children under the age of 16 I don't know where their father is nor have ever received child support for them the child support office closed the case since they could not find them
Yet looking at the minor passport laws says both parents must be present for children’s passports how can I get the children passport to go on a family trip? Is there a way?

You need a court order giving you full custody of the children.

One Parent
(with sole legal custody)
MUST:


Appear in person with the minor
Sign Form DS-11 in front of an Acceptance Agent
Submit primary evidence of sole authority to apply for the child with one of the following:

Minor’s certified U.S. or foreign birth certificate listing only the applying parent
Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240) or Certification of Birth Abroad (Form DS-1350) listing only the applying parent
Court order granting sole custody to the applying parent (unless child's travel is restricted by that order)
Adoption decree (if applying parents is sole adopting parent)
Court order specifically permitting applying parent's or guardian's travel with the child
Judicial declaration of incompetence of non-applying parent
Death certificate of non-applying parent
NOTE: If none of the above documentation is available, the applying parent must submit Form DS-3053 stating why the non-applying parent/guardian's consent cannot be obtained

I am guessing that a document from the child support office noting the father cannot be found to give support will be enough reason for you to get sole custody ruling. That way you can move about freely.**

I'm sure there are provisions for this. Check out this link -- they discuss provisions for one parent with sole custody toward the end
