Can we adopt if the other parent pays child support sporadically?

Washington

Yes. Child support payments don't prevent an abandonment finding if the parent hasn't maintained meaningful contact with the child. Washington courts look at the overall relationship, not just financial contributions.

We've helped 1,104+ families in Washington through this process.
