Legally, it doesn't really matter how long the parent has been absent from the life of their child, parental responsibility once bestowed is very rarely lost. The caveat to that is in cases of absence without trace for a period of at least six years.
If the father has abandoned the child with the mother, a family member, or another person without providing support to the child for at least six months, their parental rights may be terminated.
A termination of parental right happens when a city agency (like NYC Administration for Children's Services - ACS) or foster care agency files a petition in Family Court asking a Judge to end a parent's parental rights. The petition must give a ground (legal reason) for the termination.
New York Penal Law § 260.00: Abandonment of a child A person is guilty of abandonment of a child when, being a parent, guardian or other person legally charged with the care or custody of a child less than fourteen years old, he deserts such child in any place with intent to wholly abandon it.
Termination of parental rights ends the legal parent-child relationship. Once the relationship has been terminated, the child is legally free to be placed for adoption with the objective of securing a more stable, permanent family environment that can meet the child's long- term parenting needs.
The legal definition of an unfit parent is when the parent through their conduct fails to provide proper guidance, care, or support. Also, if there is abuse, neglect, or substance abuse issues, that parent will be deemed unfit.
Permanently neglected the child for at least 12 months by failing to maintain contact with the child and plan for the future of the child. Legally abandoned the child for at least 6 months. Severely or repeatedly abused the child.
