Will I be able to recieve visitation for my daughter even if a file for abandonment was filed?

You will be able to receive visitations in Rhode Island even though your ex filed abandonment of your child against you. Since there's already been a legal matter in court against you, it is certainly in your best interest to hire an experienced lawyer to handle this matter. Considering that months of gone by and you have not seen your daughter, I would take this matter extremely seriously. But this is a situation that can be resolved in court and you will be able to see your child again. I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where my firm is located. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
