That depends. Age & functioning level of the children; arrangements, if any, parents made to care for the child in their absence, ie neighbor checks in; can the parents be contacted; the location and environment in which the child was left; ie small friendly community, or a crime-ridden urban street. Call child services if in doubt.

'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'.

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.


How do you stop child support sense were back together?

You, (the Absent Parent), and the Custodial Parent both go to your local Child Support Office and file a motion to be heard in front of a judge (in most cases, it's heard on a separate date from the date you file the motion) to cease child support. On the date of the court date, you both appear before a judge and he/she will ask the Custodial Parent if this is his/her wishes. The Custodial Parent will then answer according to how they see fit. The Custodial Parent can also at that time request that all monies owed to him/her from back support that the Absent Parent has not yet satisfied be forgotten. This will clear the slate for the Absent Parent as far as arrears is concerned. Note, this will not clear any monies owed to the State that the Custodial Parent may have received i.e. TANF. You, the Absent Parent, will still be held responsible for paying this back and your child support will continue-only for repayment of State funds received on behalf of the child-until paid in full.


What is the time line for child abandonment for a non custodial parent?

That is something that varies from state to state. You should contact an attorney or the clerk of the family court in your county of residence for a definitive answer.


How long does the custodial parent have to be away with no contact for it to be considered child abandonment in the State of Arizona so the non custodial parent can file for sole custodial rights?

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.
