First, you need to determine the legal terminology in your state for abandonment. Once you have that information, then you will know what your rights are. In most states, "abandonment" doesn't occur until a number of years have passed with absolutely no contact.
If he has just left you, you have the right to file for a divorce, and ask for reasonable property and child or spousal support.
