I have a similar question to what someone else asked who is located from Alabama.
How do I file for Child Abandonment? The difference between my situation and the other person who asked this exact question is that the father actually still lives in the same state as we do. He hadn't seen my son in 9 months and if it weren't for the father's mother calling up out of the clear blue sky these past 2-3 months, I don't think not only would we have not seen him in 9 months, we would have not heard from him in 9 months. Last year close to this time we hadn't seen him in 6 months and it had been about four months during that time since we heard from him. We had scheduled times for him to see him everyday but he always lacks off after the holidays are over. I think that the only reason he comes around is because someone is bugging him about my son and he has no idea what to say and so he decides to call and try to be a father. Once everything has gone back to normal and everyone is gone and have gone on about their business, then he disappears out of the picture again, until the next major holiday or Father's day pops up. Keeping all of this in mind, is there a way to file for child abandonment? It would be nice to be able to revoke his rights as well, because there is even more to this story.
