Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Sounds like it - assuming you mean physically, but not legally separated. But you should consult with a local divorce attorney to be sure.

Based upon your question, I see two possible answers:

First, if you are talking about whether your husband abandoned you for grounds for divorce, yes he most likely has but you should contact a divorce attorney.

Second: if you are talking about your husband abandoning his daughter for custody issues, that is a different issue. Abandonment can take many forms but if the father is keeping in touch and calling then it most likely is not abandonment.

Either way, you should consult with a local family court attorney for more indepth analysis of your case.
