What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
When a judge strips them of their rights.

The question you are really asking is how long a parent can go without contact before the other parent can file for termination of parental rights, based upon abandonment.

And that's what you should google for PA.

In Pennsylvania, it is GENERALLY six months.

But, of course, the parent who is accused of abandonment will get to tell his or her side of the story in court.
