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.
most people youe it to file child support on someone it states they have nothing to do with their child in short terms
seems unlikely
You file for custody as the child should be living with one of them. The custodial parent can be charged with abandonment. if the child has married, get the support stopped, or have the child emancipated.
yes
You file charges against the parent who kicked the child out for abandonment. You file for custody and suspension of child support. At the minimum, the payments can be frozen pending a review of the custody order.
A parent who leaves a child in Georgia for 3 months or longer without support or communication is considered to have abandoned them. This has to be an intentional absence from the child's life.
Not until age 18 or high school graduation. If the child is under 18, file for custody based on abandonment by the custodial parent. see links
No.If he's in "Rehab"he's "trying" to better himself.That is NOT Abandonment.
Yes you can, but will need to go through the courts. Or you could still go after him for child support through the courts, they can make him pay.
The process for filing abandonment charges on a noncustodial father who doesn't pay support varies by state. Generally speaking, if he has not seen the child for at least six months, you can file abandonment charges in family court.
No because you dont pay tax on child support
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.
