An Affidavit of Abandonment is a formal legal document used in Canadian family law when one parent has ceased contact with and responsibility for their child(ren). This sworn statement serves as evidence in family court proceedings, particularly in cases involving custody modifications, adoption proceedings, or termination of parental rights. The document must detail specific information about the abandonment, including the last known contact, attempts to locate the absent parent, and the current situation of the child(ren). It needs to be properly executed before a commissioner of oaths or notary public and must comply with both federal and provincial family law requirements. The affidavit is typically supported by supplementary evidence such as communication records, witness statements, and documentation of search efforts.
