Best Answer

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.
