If the child is a minor, no, they cannot. Expelling a minor for from their parent or legal guardian's home is an act of neglect. Generally when police officers encounter a child who has been kicked out or locked out, they will bring them back to the parent and force the parent to let them back in. If they refuse, they are arrested and charged with neglect. This is true in all states. If a child is committing crimes, the parent can alert the police to the criminal act and see to it that the child is prosecuted or remanded to the state as a ward of the court and removed from their custody based on the same. But a parent does not have authority to decide they want to expel their child from the home just because they want to.

Is it consider neglect if minor child is left with noncustodial parent for over a year with no contact from the custodial parent?
The definition and parameters of neglect and child abandonment (a form of neglect) vary from state to state and the circumstances surrounding an alleged incident of such are taken into consideration when determining whether or not an act of neglect took place. For instance, if the parent was hospitalized or incarcerated, it generally would not be considered willful abandonment. If the parent did it because they had no way to provide food, shelter, emotional and financial support for the child for that period of time, it may not be considered an act of neglect, depending on specifics. If they did it because they couldn't be bothered to care for their child and could provide no viable reason why it was done, it would be considered neglect/abandonment. Ultimately, it would be an issue decided in court.
How long does a parent have to be absent from a child's life before it is consider abononment in Indiana?
The state of Indiana recognizes child abandonment only in regard to children 12 months of age or younger. However the state does recognize neglect as a form of child abandonment. According to Indiana law, neglect occurs when a child's mental or physical state is "impaired or seriously endangered" because of a parent's or guardian's "inability, refusal, or neglect" to provide the child with supervision, shelter, food, medical attention or education. For children older than 12 months, it is the custodial parent's duty to file an immediate report with the Department of Child Services in Indiana or with a local law enforcement agency outlining the circumstances of neglect (in this case, child abandonment). From there, the case is investigated, pursued in court and based on the judge's findings, the parent who abandoned the child may have their parental rights involuntarily terminated. No specific period of time is indicated as to when this occurs but generally, anywhere from a period of 6 months to 1 year, if no extenuating circumstances apply are usually grounds for a finding of neglect via abandonment.

Abandonment of a child is defined in Arizona Revised Statute Section 8-201(1) as failing to supervise or support a child with the intent to allow that neglect to go on for an indefinite time. If this form of neglect continues for a period of six months the statute presumes the parent has abandoned the child. However courts will consider certain extenuating circumstances on the part of the parent accused of child abandonment before making a final determination. Consult an attorney specializing in family law for more information.
