Depends on the state...Texas has laws on the books that provide protections for a mother who was abandoned during pregnancy, however, they are not used often as they aren't very well known (the real interest is keeping the child off of the welfare roles and keeping the family unit "intact"...I guess they are a little slow to see the "unit" is already shattered when he walks out on you)...especially if the father was gone from the beginning. depending on if he helped at all during the pregnancy...the courts will determine what they consider "viable interest"...In other words, if you didn't get any help for the entire 9 months, he basically will get supervised visits at best and be responsible for child support. I can't speak for other states, but I know this for a fact as I have been through it myself not only that, the woman he left me for was plastering pics of abortion on my door and sending them to my e-mail. Best of luck to you. You can do it on your own. My son will be 2 this summer and he is my reason for being. I get excited every morning at the thought of waking up to see him. Take heart, karma is a far worse vindicator than any court could ever be.
That would depend on the laws of your State.Generally, the crime of child abandonment occurs when the parent who is charged with the custody and care of the child leaves the child with the intent of abandoning it. Therefore a father who is paying child support is the non-custodial parent and cannot be charged with child abandonment. You can check your state laws at the related link.

child abandonment is a felony anywhere in the civilized world.
MY SON IS 8 HIS FATHER HAS NOT HAD CONTACT WITH MY SON OR TRIED IN 5 YEARS 3 AND A HALF OF THOSE HE WAS IN PRISON FOR METH. NOW HE WANTS "TO BE HIS FRIEND". HOW DO I FILE ABANDONMENT OR GET RIGHTS TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM
The abandonment of a minor child is not necessarily defined as the actual physical leaving of a child, that is a different matter. Abandonment is defined as the non compliance of the obligated parent to financially support his or her biological child. There is of course the act of physical abandonment which is related to the placing of a child in a dangerous or unsuitable environment, in which case several criminal charges would be applicable depending upon the specific circumstances.
The possibilities are endless.
No.If he's in "Rehab"he's "trying" to better himself.That is NOT Abandonment.
It would be cruel to file abandonment charges against the father simply because he had no way of picking the child up. Arrangements could have been made. It is time both parents thought of the child and not themselves. If the father tried his best then accept it; if he is a dead beat father and the mother cannot rely on the father then file abandonment charges.
PID can't be transmitted to a child during pregnancy.
no you just take him in to welfare
No.
What constitutes child abandonment in Texas?
To be considered child abandonment in Alabama, a parent or legal guardian must leave a minor child with no money, clothing, shelter, food, or communication for over 3 months. If this happens, their rights can be stripped from them.
That would depend on the laws of your State.Generally, the crime of child abandonment occurs when the parent who is charged with the custody and care of the child leaves the child with the intent of abandoning it.

Outside the designated orders of the court, it would be considered abandonment 30 days after the end of any period of normal access rights.
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.
