Re: abandoment
You can read Chapter 26.20 RCW (Family abandonment or nonsupport (formerly family desertion)) for the statutory provisions. The statutes can be read at: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?Cite=26 .
The provision you likely are looking for is RCW 26.20.035 (Family nonsupport) as the statutory definition of "family abandonment" relates to children.
You may want to review your facts and options with an attorney.
