Hi there, sorry to hear about your situation. If he has a drug problem then most likely he couldn't hold down a job if he had one.
A true father is one who provides for his children and does whatever he can for them. If he hasn't given you any money for some time now then he should not consider himself their father and should lose his privaledge to see them, that's if he see's them at all.
Involving the state may be the right thing to do but you have to first talk to him and explain the situation to him and let him know that if he doesn't start doing something very soon then you will involve the state but for now maybe you can either limit his visits with the children or cancel them completely. Of course that's up to you. He has to earn his right to see them by providing for them. But if you want to get the state involvde as an act of revenge then don't do it. He will eventually pay for his errors one way or another. Good luck.
