How do you file child abandonment when he dont pay child support?

First you check your state's statute regarding what constitutes abandonment. In some states, not paying support but abiding by visitation would not constitute abandonment. In all states, the period of time before a finding of abandonment is made may vary or there may be no specific period of time, rather the court decides (there is a 6 month general rule of thumb, but that is not carved in stone). And in all cases, any extenuating circumstances are considered. For instance, if a parent is indigent, incarcerated, hospitalized, etc., the may not be found to have abandoned their child.


If you have shared parental responsibility of a child and the father just moved out of the country and left his child with the mother is that abandonment and did he just give up his rights?

Not necessarily, states have control over domestic issues. The laws of the state where the custody order was obtained determine what constitutes abandonment. If the person is still paying court ordered child support it would not be construed as abandonment. Contacting the attorney who assisted in the original custody agreement might help in obtaining more specific information.
