Before the child is considered abandoned? Three months of physical absence and/or failure to provide for the child is considered abandonment and the courts may involuntarily terminate parental rights if a motion is filed for the same. It should be noted, however, that termination of parental rights does not automatically terminate child support obligation.
How long can a parent go without seeing a child before its considered abandonment in the state of Pennsylvania
48hrs unless its with someone or it is 18
NO!
'Abandonment' is when a child is left somewhere with no parent, ie, the child has been ditched somewhere. If the child is with one parent, it doesn't matter how long the other parent doesn't see it, it's never 'abandonment'.
Yes.
Yes they can.
All children have parents
There is no statute on the Missouri books to permit charging a parent with abandonment who has not seen the child. Please see for yourself in the related link below:
That is dependent of custody orders, but even without, the other parent could file an injunction.
Even without a specific law, or provision in a custody order, the parent should seek the permission of the other parent, and the court, to avoid the filing of an injunction ordering the child being returned to the state. See related link
No, you will need the other parents and the courts permission.
In the US at least, child support and visitation are independant. A parent is still liable for child support all the way until the child reaches the age of majority, even if the parent has no intention of ever seeing the child.
