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.

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.
Is there a set amount of time a father can go without having any contact with the child before losing parental rights?
The laws are different state by state, but there is a time limit involved in most cases. Usually the other parent has to file some papers with the court, and the "timer" doesn't start until the papers are filed. I know from personal experience PA has a 6 month abandonment law. Which means, say the birth mother has not seen birth child for 10 months BUT has called on a regular basis, that is still considered contact. OR If she hasn't seen the child for 6 months and then sends a card. That is considered contact and it would toss out the 6 months abandonment. It's very hard to get that passed!
Is it abandonment if your unable to see child?
Abandonment is usually defined as a failure to provide for the child. As long as you continue to provide for the child, it's not abandonment, regardless of whether you see the child or not. For example, sending your child to boarding school, where you pay his or her living expenses, for most of the year is not abandonment even though you may not see the child for months at a time.
