Re: Abandonment by Non-custodial Parent
do you mean abandonment for purposes of having someone else adopt a minor child? or for something else? there are procedures you have to follow to terminate someone's parental rights so that someone can adopt a minor child, such as by providing them notice at their last known address, etc. after you have followed the court-mandated procedures, then you can proceed with the adoption (assuming the parent does not appear or object to the proceedings).
