Many States and territories now provide definitions for child abandonment in their reporting laws. Approximately 18 States and the District of Columbia include abandonment in their definition of abuse or neglect. These are Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Approximately 13 States, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Carolina, plus Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands provide separate definitions for establishing abandonment.
In general, it is considered abandonment of the child when the parent's identity or whereabouts are unknown, the child has been left by the parent in circumstances in which the child suffers serious harm, or the parent has failed to maintain contact with the child or to provide reasonable support for a specified period of time.
Interpretation can be made as regards "failed to maintain contact with the child" as this is often claimed, when in reality the other parent was denied access to the child, even in violation of court orders. This is very common when a child is moved away from the parent, to another state or country. According to the US Dept. of Health & Human Services study, "Survey of Absent Parents" over 60% of mothers regularly violate the access rights of fathers. They will cut off all contact between the children and their fathers within five years. Unlike child support, mothers are generally not jailed, even with multiple Contempt of Court rulings against them for violating a father's court ordered visitation rights.
In cases involving children moved to state like Missouri, if the mother can prevent contact between the father and child for six months, the child abandonment law can be used to allow an adoption by a stepparent, without notification of the father.

How long must a child be left in Illinois before it is considered abandonment?
Criminal abandonment in Illinois is basically leaving a child under the age of 13 w/o supervision twenty-four hours or more. This means that if there is someone over the age of fourteen in the household, the law will not apply unless the children were left in "unsafe or unfit conditions"; those terms are oiutlined in the exceptions of the abandonment law. A parent not visiting or paying support for their child/children does not constitute abandonment. Such issues are adjudged by ILC's pertaining to support and/or custody of minor child/children.
