It is not possible to answer your question adequately without further information. In Kentucky, "abandonment" is covered under the abuse and neglect laws. Contact an attorney in your area. You might also contact the state's division of family services. They can be very helpful with questions like this and point you in the right direction.
That depends on state law where you live and where the child legally resides if it is different and no legal custody order is in place. No one can give you an answer without that information
'Abandonment' is when a child is left somewhere with no parent, ie, the child has been ditched somewhere. If the child is with one parent, it doesn't matter how long the other parent doesn't see it, it's never 'abandonment'.
Missouri's legal statutes do not specify a period of time when abandonment occurs, however most judges in that state concur that abandonment has occurred when the non-custodial parent has left the child and provided no means of support for the child for a period of six months. In those cases, the non-custodial parent may petition the court for termination of parental rights of the non-custodial parent. However, if the other parent contests the petition, then you are unlikely to prevail since the courts prefer that both parents are part of the child's life. The best course of action is probably to go through the normal process of filing a motion with the court to establish child support and visitation. Then you can receive support for your child and have scheduled visitation set up. If the parent has no interest in the child then he is unlikely to even use the visitation.
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.
You should consult with an attorney who specializes in domestic relations in your area who can review your situation and determine what your options are under your state laws.
