Child Abandonment?
Q. I live in Oklahoma and was needing so advice on how child abandonment work. how do i apply and what are the nessacery things that have to be going on in order for the abandonment to take place. OK so i guess i need to go into further detail. The father of my child hasn't payed any child support in a long time, nor has he tried to see his son. I heard that you can file for child abandonment and he can lose his rights. The reason I want to do this is so it doesn't become a problem with custody in the futre. just wanting to know what to do. I herd something about putting a add in the news paper or something.

A. Child Abandonment is a crime that is committed when a child fails to properly care for a child by abandoning them. If your parents have abandoned you, contact the police. If you are talking about emancipation, that is a different thing all together.

A. Child abandonment is when the "father" of the child has never been in the childs life from day one, or in older childrens cases has left for a number of years (look up your local State laws on that). In the case of my son (who is 7) there was no signed birth cert. and no DNA test preformed. The State requested ONLY a few things to proceed: 1) did I have ANY knowledge of his last whereabouts 2) Did I have ANY pictures? and lastly 3) did I know his name. Now I had all 3 of those and in the state of Calif. (if you go through the ADA's office) they do everything for you. I did not know his current location, but had an old address, I had pictures; although fuzzy and I knew an alias... they took him to court... served the last address and… [cont.]

Does it costs money to file a child abandonment report in Ontario?
Q. I have an online friend who told me it costs $350 to file a child abandonment report. She said she was surprised to find out there was a fee when she recently had to file one. I'm finding this hard to believe and figured I'd ask here to see if anyone knows.

A. If you are talking about a child abandonment police report, there is never a charge to file a police report, it's a crime. If you are talking about something involving an attorney that may be where the $350 comes in. But not for a police report.

A. Here's the main link about arkansas human services: And here's a passage about child abuse from their site and the specific link i got the passage from: What is Child Maltreatment? Child maltreatment means abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, sexual exploitation or abandonment by the caretaker of the child (a parent, guardian, custodian, or foster parent). The caretaker may be anyone who is age 10 or older and entrusted with the child's care. Child maltreatment occurs when the caretaker harms the child or lets harm come to the child, or fails to meet the child s basic needs. Sexual abuse and exploitation are child maltreatment under Arkansas law whether by a caretaker or by someone else.

A. I do not know the exact law in Michigan, however generally if a parent leaves a child with someone first question police will ask is if the parent has contacted the child/person in charge. Did the mother leave any financial assistance for the child, how long did the mother state she would be gone. Meaning, if parent says I'll be back in 6 hours and two days goes by, no call then the person should contact law enforcment. BUT... what could happen, is the police will come and declare the child in imm danger and place the child in foster care. I doubt that is what you want to happen to the child. Can't you/family talk to the mother and try to work something out where she allows the child to stay with another family member under a temp… [cont.]

A. It's not abandonment when the child is left with the other PARENT after only 3 days. Since you called her the "mother of my...", I assume you are not married. If not, are you the child's LEGAL father? Simply having your name on the birth certificate does not make you the legal father. You would have had to either signed an Affidavit of Paternity or had the court declare you to be the legal father via DNA testing. If not, the first thing you need to do is establish legal paternity in one of the above described manners. i would strongly suggest having a DNA test done if it has not yet been taken care of. Accepting legal responsibility for the child is for LIFE. It can't be easily undone down the road if you find out she is not yours. You… [cont.]

I want to be a part of the childs life but the mother is claiming she has a court order against me for child abandonment because I have not visited the child yet.

Asked by Ryan C - Sat Nov 14 18:34:07 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It varies from state to state... But in my state, you have to have had no contact with the child for at least 6 months, then the mother (in your case) would have to place an "ad" in the paper for a month stating that she's filing for abandonment and give you the chance to contact her and/or the courts. Then it goes to court. Wait until the court date, tell your case to the judge and the judge will most likely grant you visitation. They won't terminate your rights if you are truly trying to have a relationship with your child.

In the cases of legal child abandonment, if there is no name left, how do they further process the children?
Q. I realize for the older kids, they can tell them their names but what about the infants. Do they give an educated guess for the birth date? And would the children have the option of contacting their parents?
Asked by a chick - Mon Oct 20 09:31:42 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think with infants, it is pretty much a guessing game.They have to "guesstimate" their age and usually the hospital will give them a name. In the case of abandonment, if the parent comes forward, they may be able to have contact once the parent proves that they have received counseling or something .
