Re: child abandonment

Willful failure to visit for a period of six months or more can be grounds for you to seek to terminate his parental rights. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
