Best Answer

The definition and parameters of neglect and child abandonment (a form of neglect) vary from state to state and the circumstances surrounding an alleged incident of such are taken into consideration when determining whether or not an act of neglect took place.

For instance, if the parent was hospitalized or incarcerated, it generally would not be considered willful abandonment. If the parent did it because they had no way to provide food, shelter, emotional and financial support for the child for that period of time, it may not be considered an act of neglect, depending on specifics. If they did it because they couldn't be bothered to care for their child and could provide no viable reason why it was done, it would be considered neglect/abandonment.

Ultimately, it would be an issue decided in court.

Call the police and report it. * The custodial parent has the legal right to refuse visitation to the non custodial parent if it would place the child or children in jeopardy of harm or neglect. DO Not call the police. Contact the attorney who handled the custody case or if that is not possible contact the state's department of family and children's services for assistance.


How long does the custodial parent have to be away with no contact for it to be considered child abandonment in the State of Arizona so the non custodial parent can file for sole custodial rights?

Abandonment of a child is defined in Arizona Revised Statute Section 8-201(1) as failing to supervise or support a child with the intent to allow that neglect to go on for an indefinite time. If this form of neglect continues for a period of six months the statute presumes the parent has abandoned the child. However courts will consider certain extenuating circumstances on the part of the parent accused of child abandonment before making a final determination. Consult an attorney specializing in family law for more information.

Can a non custodial parent gain custody because of the neglect of the childrens attendance in school?

Being charged with neglect means there has not yet been a final determination. If the custodial parent is found guilty of child neglect the court can terminate their custody. Child neglect is an element of child endangerment and is one of the factors a court considers to find a parent unfit. Unless the non-custodial parent has also been determined to be an unfit parent they would be the next choice to whom the court would award legal custody.The non-custodial parent should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues as soon as possible. The attorney can review the situation and explain the options and how to proceed.See related question.

Can you get the custodial parent in trouble for child not attending school in the state of Oregon?

In Oregon, the school district generally holds the custodial parent responsible for ensuring that their child attends school. If a child is not attending school regularly, the school district may take steps to address truancy, such as involving the custodial parent in meetings and offering support services. However, it is unlikely that the custodial parent would face legal trouble solely for their child's non-attendance, unless there is evidence of intentional neglect or failure to comply with court orders.
