Legal Question
What is the time line for child abandonment for a non custodial parent? My husband was given temporary full custody of a three year old and five year old in December 2008. The mother was only allowed to have supervised visitation. She maintained off and on contact until May 2009. She has not called or made any attempt to contact the girls since May. How long do we have to wait to file abandonment?

"Filing for abandonment" doesn't mean much unless you are planning to adopt the children. It also does not make sense that you call it "temporary", since once a final decree is entered in a divorce or paternity, there is really no such thing. What are you trying to accomplish?
