First you check your state's statute regarding what constitutes abandonment. In some states, not paying support but abiding by visitation would not constitute abandonment. In all states, the period of time before a finding of abandonment is made may vary or there may be no specific period of time, rather the court decides (there is a 6 month general rule of thumb, but that is not carved in stone). And in all cases, any extenuating circumstances are considered. For instance, if a parent is indigent, incarcerated, hospitalized, etc., the may not be found to have abandoned their child.

If the felon cannot see their child due to incarceration, that would not be grounds for an abandonment charge as it is a situation beyond their control. If other circumstances apply, you may file a motion in the court with jurisdiction for a finding of abandonment on the part of the father if he has willfully had no contact with the child for 6 months or more.
