By law, when is it okay to file abandonment paperwork against your child's other parent? How long does it have to be before you can file the paperwork? If you have a protection order for you and your child against the other person, can you still file the abandonment paperwork if it is in the court paperwork that the other party is to have supervised visits and has not made any attempts to follow through with that? Can you go after someone for child support when it is not in your original protection order paperwork?

What do you think filing abandonment will get you? Abandonment is generally for when a child is left totally alone, NOT when one parent declines to exercise his rights.
