This decision would be up to the district attorney and/or child protective services. I doubt it would ever happen. Lack of involvement by the absent parent is not a defense to child abuse.

Can a non custodial parent gain custody because of the neglect of the childrens attendance in school?
Being charged with neglect means there has not yet been a final determination. If the custodial parent is found guilty of child neglect the court can terminate their custody. Child neglect is an element of child endangerment and is one of the factors a court considers to find a parent unfit. Unless the non-custodial parent has also been determined to be an unfit parent they would be the next choice to whom the court would award legal custody.The non-custodial parent should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues as soon as possible. The attorney can review the situation and explain the options and how to proceed.See related question.

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.

Can custodial parent lock children out of home in Indiana?
If the child is a minor, no, they cannot. Expelling a minor for from their parent or legal guardian's home is an act of neglect. Generally when police officers encounter a child who has been kicked out or locked out, they will bring them back to the parent and force the parent to let them back in. If they refuse, they are arrested and charged with neglect. This is true in all states. If a child is committing crimes, the parent can alert the police to the criminal act and see to it that the child is prosecuted or remanded to the state as a ward of the court and removed from their custody based on the same. But a parent does not have authority to decide they want to expel their child from the home just because they want to.

Is it consider neglect if minor child is left with noncustodial parent for over a year with no contact from the custodial parent?
The definition and parameters of neglect and child abandonment (a form of neglect) vary from state to state and the circumstances surrounding an alleged incident of such are taken into consideration when determining whether or not an act of neglect took place. For instance, if the parent was hospitalized or incarcerated, it generally would not be considered willful abandonment. If the parent did it because they had no way to provide food, shelter, emotional and financial support for the child for that period of time, it may not be considered an act of neglect, depending on specifics. If they did it because they couldn't be bothered to care for their child and could provide no viable reason why it was done, it would be considered neglect/abandonment. Ultimately, it would be an issue decided in court.

Can a father be forced to sign over parental rights due to neglect?
Generally no, a DA might try to strong arm you into doing it. In the state I reside in, and I am a child welfare worker, the state generally moves to terminate a parents right, and if the parent fights it, they should have a trial to do so. But if your charged with neglect, and you dont work a case plan, and the state is unable to reunify you with your child, they can move to terminate your parental rights.
