Waste of money and time. Single mothers automatically have sole control and custody in 49 states until a court rules otherwise. Single fathers are relegated to a glass encased subbasement, looking up at the mothers two floors above, and through 12 inch tempered glass.

Mother has full custody of child and father has gone almost 6 months with no contact Is this child abandonment?
This is dependent on whether it is voluntary or due to denial of access, as happens in 60% of the cases.
Is it still abondoment if child's father pays child support but has had no contact for 2 years?
That would depend on the laws of your State.Generally, the crime of child abandonment occurs when the parent who is charged with the custody and care of the child leaves the child with the intent of abandoning it. Therefore a father who is paying child support is the non-custodial parent and cannot be charged with child abandonment. You can check your state laws at the related link.
If you have shared parental responsibility of a child and the father just moved out of the country and left his child with the mother is that abandonment and did he just give up his rights?
Not necessarily, states have control over domestic issues. The laws of the state where the custody order was obtained determine what constitutes abandonment. If the person is still paying court ordered child support it would not be construed as abandonment. Contacting the attorney who assisted in the original custody agreement might help in obtaining more specific information.
