    What is this abandonment you speak of?

    Abandonment is a legal term referring to leaving a child unattended.

    What is it that you actually want?

    Do you want you new husband to adopt her? Abandonment is a very misunderstood thing. You don't "file for abandonment". You MAY use abandonment as grounds for something else. But you have to defne what you ultimately want for us to help.

    You should take out child support before you remarry it takes a long time though, abandoment states he has not SEEN or Given you any monies (no matter how little) in 30 days.
