Abandonment of a child is defined in Arizona Revised Statute Section 8-201(1) as failing to supervise or support a child with the intent to allow that neglect to go on for an indefinite time. If this form of neglect continues for a period of six months the statute presumes the parent has abandoned the child. (See Reference 1.) Arizona Revised Statute Sections 13-3619 and 13-3623 to provide that abandonment can be construed as a criminal offense, ranging from a class 1 misdemeanor to a class 2 felony, depending upon such factors as the risk to the child and whether or not the abandonment was intentional. Penalties range from a fine of $2,500 and 6 months in prison for a class 1 misdemeanor conviction, all the way up to 12.5 years in prison for a "non-dangerous" class 2 felony. (See Reference 2.)
