Yes I would consider that as abandment. My brother is going through the same thing. His baby mother left their daugher with him since the age of two and she is 6 right now. He never took her to court cause he didn't want to hurt her, and never put her on child support. The mother don't take care of the child and barely sees the child. My brother recently moved the Chicago to take a good job and better him and his kids lives. She knew all this and is now saying that he kidnapped the child. She have 5 kids total and don't see any of them and have no rights to them. She don't even pay her court ordered child support for her first 4 kids. And she and my brother were never married.

  • If there is joint custody and the mother of the children has moved to a different state regarding better employment then no, it is not child abandonment even though she should have discussed this with you. If the mother left with a boyfriend and has partial custody of the children and has not discussed her plans to move with the father or court then yes, it could be construed as child abandonment. If you have complete custody then no, it is not child abandonment. Children should always come first no matter how much the two parents involved may dislike each other and to the children their parents are their mother and father and if possible it should remain this way and not go in a direction of not allowing the mother to see her children. If the mother is into drugs including alcohol; parties too much and doesn't take time out for quality time with the children then this is a different matter altogether.

If the ex husband agreed to looking after the children for those 5 days then no, it's not abandonment.

Can a mother file for abandonment if she will not let the children go with the father?

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.

Who would you consider more of a biological brother and sister children that are born from the same mother different father or children from the same father different mother?

Since the father and mother each contribute half (23 chromosomes) of the genetic material needed to form a child (46 chromosomes), the brother and sister are equal in terms of biological similarity, no matter if they had a different mother (same father) or father (same mother). However, if any of the father/mother pairs are related, the result is skewed.

Father and Mother are not married when Mother decides she does not want to be a Mom then abandons the Father and Child. Does the Father have legal rights for full custody?

The father must establish his paternity through the courts since he and the mother were not married. He can petition for full custody. He should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues. The mother's abandonment can certainly be used as evidence that the father should receive legal custody. He is providing the day to day care of the child.The father must establish his paternity through the courts since he and the mother were not married. He can petition for full custody.
