No. Abandonment (actual or constructive) must be for 1 year BEFORE you file for divorce.

No, the abandonment must be for one year or more. He filed when it was only 8 months. Please consult with an attorney regarding your rights as far as child support, maintenance, etc. Feel free to call or email us... our fees are very low.
