    var termSet = document.getElementById('<%=TermSetID.ClientID %>').value.toString();
    var name = new Array();
   var index = 0;
    $().SPServices({
        operation: "GetChildTermsInTermSet",
        sspId: termStore,
        lcid: 1033,
        termSetId: termSet,
        completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
           alert("ok");
        }
    });
    return name;

From the sounds of it, you need to do some debugging. If "the service is not triggerring", there is likely an error of some sort.

First check to make sure your references to jQuery and SPServices are correct (this causes a suprising majority of first time issues). See my post Adding jQuery+SPServices to a SharePoint Page: Step One, Always.

Assuming that your references are good, add alert(xData.responseText); in the completefunc to see what's returned from the Web Service call.
