Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
Is this child abandonment?
My mother sent me to visit my sister in Connecticut and, while I was there, sold the house and left the state. I am 16 and would like to know if this is considered abandonment and whether there is a punishment or not. If there is a punishment, what would it be? Also, is there a way for someone to sue her for support and for keeping my mail from me?
Answers are very much appreciated.

You must have an adult apply to the county court where you are living for custody and child support from your mother. You mother should not be hard to find.
Call me if you like.
