its not about how long it is its your reason if it were abondonment you would
have left it on purpose and if you do leave it on purpose then it takes about 1 or 2 years
but you would have to be doing it deliberetly.
Added: In regards to child support issues there is no such thing as 'abandonment." As the legal parent you have a legal obligation to support the child until the statutopry time-limit set by law for your particular state. You will not escape responsibility for paying child support by declaring that you "abandoned" the child.

∙ 11y ago'Child abandonment' is when a child is intentionally left without either parent.
If the child is with one parent, it doesn't matter how long it is that the other parent has seen it, it's not 'abandonment'.

∙ 10y agoChild abandonment is very broadly categorized but often it can be a mix of only making minimal efforts to support or communicate with a child or even failing to maintain any sort of visitation with a child for a period of 6 months or more. There are of course many other items that would fall under the category, but the two mentioned are the most directly related to your question.

Before the child is considered abandoned? Three months of physical absence and/or failure to provide for the child is considered abandonment and the courts may involuntarily terminate parental rights if a motion is filed for the same. It should be noted, however, that termination of parental rights does not automatically terminate child support obligation.
