    You need to indicate what state you are in because the laws vary across the country.

    In California, for example, non-support or non-communication with a child for over one year with the intent to abandon the child (if the child was left in the custody of the other parent) is a basis to terminate parental rights. Not that you should seek to terminate rights, but the law does provide for it.

    What methods have you tried to collect your child support ** you can not force them to have contact with child
    Have you taken him back to court for contempt, have you turned it over to child support enforcement for your state. Have you discussed this with some of the private chilid support collectoin companies
