What is abandonment/When is it considered abandonment?

[TheGeekess]

Alabama judges tend to go for joint legal. Dad will probably get to keep Baby, since Mom was in such a hurry to high-tail it out of town. Because yes, Mom, you will probably get visitation and end up paying child support. That's why I've included the links about Alabama child support. You will end up filing in the county of Dad & Baby's residence.


OP, you need to read these links. They are The Alabama law statutes.

There's no job or state good enough for me to leave my child behind. Not even a gun pointed at my head would make me do that.
