Exactly what would you want to file? Also, what should be equally filed on mothers denying the father access?
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.
No.If he's in "Rehab"he's "trying" to better himself.That is NOT Abandonment.
The parents of the deceased father (the childs grandparents) can do a paternity test.
MY SON IS 8 HIS FATHER HAS NOT HAD CONTACT WITH MY SON OR TRIED IN 5 YEARS 3 AND A HALF OF THOSE HE WAS IN PRISON FOR METH. NOW HE WANTS "TO BE HIS FRIEND". HOW DO I FILE ABANDONMENT OR GET RIGHTS TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM
No
You can contact DCFS to determine YOUR rights such as child support from the father. However, in most states you will find that the law offers the biological father of the child certain legal benefits and the right to a 'relationship' with his child.
This is dependent on whether it is voluntary or due to denial of access, as happens in 60% of the cases.
It would be cruel to file abandonment charges against the father simply because he had no way of picking the child up. Arrangements could have been made. It is time both parents thought of the child and not themselves. If the father tried his best then accept it; if he is a dead beat father and the mother cannot rely on the father then file abandonment charges.
That would depend on the laws of your State.Generally, the crime of child abandonment occurs when the parent who is charged with the custody and care of the child leaves the child with the intent of abandoning it. Therefore a father who is paying child support is the non-custodial parent and cannot be charged with child abandonment. You can check your state laws at the related link.
Only a court can "revoke" a parent's rights.
A female who is fertile can get pregnant by any fertile man. Including their fathers. This is illegal, and known as incest. If you're in a situation like this contact your local authorities and take action.
