Can you file abandonment charges even though you receive child support?

No, you can not file for abandonment charges. You can however, refuse the child support and take the parent to court. If they refuse to attend the court date and/or don't push for rights and you believe they are an unfit parent, then they may loose their rights. This will be a long process, but if a child is involved and are believed to be abused or neglected then it is well worth it. Before beginning a long process like this, make sure that you really believe that the parent is unfit. Once the process is started there is no going back!
