    There are laws against leaving a child without adult supervision. A few states have laws that require a parent support their child.

    All states allow a parent to ask for support from the non custodial parent.

    But you can't force a parent to be a parent. You can't require they call, write, visit or otherwise contact their child.

    What is it you want to accomplish?
