How long can a parent go without seeing a child before its considered abandonment in the state of Pennsylvania
In Ohio it is considered abandonment if a child is neglected or suffers physical or mental injury by a parent. It is also abandonment if a parent leaves their child for any period of time without any support, money, or communication.
48hrs unless its with someone or it is 18
Depends on the state. It can be 6 months to a 1 year without paying child support etc.
I'm pretty sure it is because my dad did that for four years and they considered it abandonment.
If the parent never returned, yes, this is abandonment. Unless something happened to the parent preventing a return that is not known yet.
In Illinois abandonment of a child is considered when a parent fails to pay child support or visit a child. This is determined on a case by case basis, and abandonment occurs within months to a year.
'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'.
About 1 year.
1 year is considered abandonment in the state of Arkansas.
A parent who leaves a child in Georgia for 3 months or longer without support or communication is considered to have abandoned them. This has to be an intentional absence from the child's life.
