You cannot disown your minor children. You must give up custody legally to some other responsible party. You would need to terminate your parental rights to the child.

How long can a non custodial parent go without seeing a child before in considered abandonment in missouri?
Missouri's legal statutes do not specify a period of time when abandonment occurs, however most judges in that state concur that abandonment has occurred when the non-custodial parent has left the child and provided no means of support for the child for a period of six months. In those cases, the non-custodial parent may petition the court for termination of parental rights of the non-custodial parent. However, if the other parent contests the petition, then you are unlikely to prevail since the courts prefer that both parents are part of the child's life. The best course of action is probably to go through the normal process of filing a motion with the court to establish child support and visitation. Then you can receive support for your child and have scheduled visitation set up. If the parent has no interest in the child then he is unlikely to even use the visitation.
