How do you file child abandonment in Texas?

My boyfriend pays child support for his son, but he has had him for almost two months now. He can not find the mother at all! He can't afford to pay child support and take care of him too. The mother has not called or came to see the baby at all. How long must he wait until he can do something about the situation and what must he do?

Start by calling Child Protective Services and then the non-emergency number for the police in your area.

there is more to the story than what is being told. This is what happens when kids have kids. pitiful. Sounds like girlfriend got nose in buisness she does not need to be in.

Child abandonment is against the law in Texas. He can contact the local District Attorney to press charges. The DA may choose not to prosecute, but if he does, it may take months.

The time is right to consult your attorney. The old child support and custody order should be modified as soon as possible to protect the child and to protect your boyfriend.

Why hasn't he went to court to modify the child support court order? He's the father, what's wrong with him raising his child?

Child abandonment? I think not especially since it sounds like he is trying to not pay child support.

I don't think he has to pay child support if he has full custody. Is she okay? (Like, has he spoken with her?) I'd call the police. There might be a need to file a missing persons report.

Your boyfriend should call her family and let them know about the situation.
