File Abandonment Answers
i would like to file an abandonment warrant, but the father is in miliary training, can I still file?
Q. I live in Georgia, but the alleged father is on Military training in Virginia. I would like for him to come down and take a paternity test.

A. If he is in training then he won't just be able to leave to take a test. If you have a court order then he would probably be able to get it done there without him having to come down there to take the test. Both party members don't have to be present for the test; just the samples so they can be prepared.

A. I am not sure what u are going for here. Is he on the birth certificate and if so are you looking to terminate his parental rights? Or are you seeking child support? You can file for all these things thru family court. If u end his rights he wont be obligated to pay any support. In any/either case family court has to attempt to locate and notify him of the proceedsings,it s a legal mandate they have no choice. They may not locate him but they have to make "reasonable efforts" to do so.

File child abandonment against a spouse?
Q. Brother has been married to this horrible woman for 20 years and they have 6 children together. What would be his options for getting full custody of the kids and child support without having to file for divorce or legal separation. He was laid off of work about 3 weeks ago and is having a hard time and needs some help and advice. Is it possible to get money out of this woman? What are some steps he can take that will help him and the kids right away? Can he file child abandonment charges against her?

A. If he was married to her for 20 years, and produced enough children to become the human equivalent of rabbits, despite whatever he's telling you now, he hasn't REALLY thought she's horrible. He also wouldn't be looking for a way to get out of a divorce, or legal separation. You didn't say anything about her abandoning the children. He can't just pull that out of his ass at court and have it fly. Your brother also wouldn't be the first guy who lost his job, split up with his wife, then used the idea of child support as a way to gain income without having to go to work. If he has the children, whatever he gets in child support won't be enough for him to live off of. As long as your brother isn't working, he's going to have a very hard time… [cont.]

A. When I was divorcing my first husband a lawyer told me someone can sue you for *any* reason. That doesn't mean they have a legitimate case. My first husband always had a threat over my head when we were together, and it was the same when we were getting a divorce. The difference was when I was divorcing him I could call my lawyer and ask if he could make good on the threat. He never even tried, though--they were idle threats just to gain control. Good luck, and good healing.

Can she file child abandonment ?
Q. To make a long story short, My mother took a little girl in and kept her for 3 months(with no contact from the father, The mother lost rights to child at birth) He then up and came and took the child away. Now he wants mother to care for the child again and refuses to sign any type of custody papers on the child. He said that the child could live with her and that he never would take her away again. I do not trust him so if he leaves her with mother again with no contact is there any way she can file abandonment charges and get custody that way? Or should she just refuse to take the child in again? The thing is she loves her and wants to adopt her and the father is a drug addict and what i would call a DRUNK.

A. You need to go to family court - if the child was removed and given to another family member - the mother can't be charged with abandonment, and if a child support order was not drawn up - she can't be charged with NOT pay support. Call your local legal aide and get more information. This child should have some sort of court appointed advocate - and be receiving state support, especially if the child has medical problems. Good luck to you.

A. Go to the court, file for divorce, tell them you don't know where the person is. I'm not sure where you are but most likely you'll have to provide the last known address so the court can at least try to contact them. Then you may have to post a notice in the paper for 30 days to give them a chance to respond. If no response, the judge will usually just grant you the divorce same day as your hearing.
