How do I file child abandonment against a felon in AZ?

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.


If your child's father has had no contact with you since you were three months pregnant and the child is now 5 can you claim abandonment?

Yes, you can potentially claim abandonment if the child's father has had no contact or involvement in the child's life since before birth and continuing for the past five years. Abandonment typically involves a lack of emotional, financial, or physical support from the parent. It's advisable to consult with a family law attorney to understand the specific legal definitions and implications in your jurisdiction, as laws regarding abandonment can vary.

What constitutes abandonment by a noncustodial parent in the state of Louisiana?

In Louisiana, abandonment by a noncustodial parent is generally defined as the failure to provide for a child's emotional and financial support, as well as a lack of contact or communication with the child for a significant period. Specifically, if a noncustodial parent does not visit, communicate, or support the child for at least six months without just cause, it may be considered abandonment. Additionally, if the parent has expressed an intention to abandon the child or has not taken steps to maintain a relationship, this can also contribute to an abandonment claim. Legal proceedings may be required to formally establish abandonment in court.


How long can a parent go without seeing the child before it is considered abandonment in the state of South Dakota?

'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'.

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!
