    Is there a custody order

    Is there a child support order

    If there is a child support order have you taken him back to court for non payment or turned it over to child support enforcement for your state /

    In many states abandomont is merely non payment of court ordered support and does not take his rights away, merely gets it criminal not civil

    But you will need his permission, or prove to court it is in child's best interest.

    You will need a good attorney
