This is very common when a child is moved away from the parent, to another state or country. According to the US Dept. of Health & Human Services study, "Survey of Absent Parents" over 60% of mothers regularly violate the access rights of fathers. They will cut off all contact between the children and their fathers within five years. Unlike child support, mothers are generally not jailed, even with multiple Contempt of Court rulings against them for violating a father's court ordered visitation rights.In cases involving children moved to state like Missouri, if the mother can prevent contact between the father and child for six months, the child abandonment law can be used to allow an adoption by a stepparent, without notification of the father.
