    Default Child Abandonment

    Does Georgia have abandonment laws? My brothers ex girlfriend about their daughter 7 months ago. She doesn't call or come check on her. He wants to have her parental rights taken away, but he can't afford a lawyer at this time.

    Is she paying child support? Has your brother filed for child support??

    no, she's not paying and he hasn't gone to child support enforcement. He says he doesn't want anything from her.

    If there is no child support order, then she has no legal obligation to support the child.

    He needs to file for CS.
