Re: how do i file child abandonment
Your post lacks most of the information needed to answer you.
If you were or are married to the mother the answer will depend on what, if amy, court orders exist.
If you were not married to the mother you would have no custody rights until and unless you filed to legitimate the child (and you could then seek support).
Either way you need an attorney. From what you posted, abandonment is probably the one thing you can't do at this time, unless you left out some important facts.
