Also, when a contractor stops work on a job and removes all personnel and equipment before it is completed.What does it mean when you dream about abandonment?Dreams of being abandoned may simply reflect one’s actual situation (e.g., as in the case of someone being divorced) or arise from fears of being deserted or rejected. Similarly, such dreams may occur around the time of the death of a loved one or when some other loss occurs. On a more positive note, abandonment may also symbolize the letting go of old attitudes, letting go of the past. Abandonment is a powerful general metaphor for many kinds of anxieties because it harkens back to the experience of feeling left out or left behind by our parents when we were children. Thus, a wide range of different situations, from simple loneliness to a sense of betrayal, can be represented in abandonment dreams. abandonment[ə′ban·dən·mənt] (mining engineering) Failure to perform work, by conveyance, by absence, and by lapse of time, on a mining claim.

Your unconscious may be giving you messages regarding what needs to be kept and what needs to be let go. Traditional dream interpretations say that if you are the one being abandoned in your dream, it is a dream of the contrary and you may experience reconciliation or recovery from trouble or illness. Remember that the unconscious is attempting to compensate for an imbalance in the conscious. For example, if you are overly attached to someone in daily life, in the dream state he or she may abandon you. This is an attempt by the unconscious to make you aware of your dependency.abandonment
Abandonment Malpractice A physician's unilateral severance—or so-called "negligent termination"—of a professional relationship with a patient, such that the patient must seek care with another physician, either without the patient's consent, or without reasonable or adequate notification, and/or under circumstances in which the need remains for continuity of medical care for a particular condition.
Acts of abandonment Any denial of the physician-patient relationship; refusal, or—more commonly—alleged refusal to treat a patient that the doctor has previously seen; lack of attendance to a patient for whom the doctor has already assumed responsibility, either not visiting the patient while in the hospital, or not seeing the hospitalised patient as frequently as due care in treatment requires; failure to provide follow-up attention; and failure to arrange for a competent substitute in times of absence.
Psychiatry Unilateral discontinuation of patient treatment by a clinician.

AbandonmentThe surrender, relinquishment, disclaimer, or cession of property or of rights. Voluntary relinquishment of all right, title, claim, and possession, with the intention of not reclaiming it. The giving up of a thing absolutely, without reference to any particular person or purpose. For example, vacating property with the intention of not returning, so that it may be appropriated by the next comer or finder. The voluntary relinquishment of possession of a thing by its owner with the intention of terminating ownership, but without vesting it in any other person. The relinquishing of all title, possession, or claim, or a virtual, intentional throwing away of property. Term includes both the intention to abandon and the external act by which the intention is carried into effect. In determining whether someone has abandoned property or rights, the intention is the first and paramount object of inquiry, for there can be no abandonment without the intention to abandon. Abandonment differs from surrender in that surrender requires an agreement, and also from Forfeiture, in that forfeiture may be against the intention of the party alleged to have forfeited. In the case of children, abandonment is the willful forsaking or forgoing of parental duties. Desertion as a legal concept, is similar in this respect, although broader in scope, covering both real and constructive situations; abandonment is generally seen as involving a specific and tangible forsaking or forgoing. Property That Can Be Abandoned Various types of personal property—such as personal and household items—contracts, copyrights, inventions, and Patents can be abandoned. Certain rights and interests in real property, such as easements and leases, may also be abandoned. Suppose a ranch owner, for example, gives a shepherd an easement to use a path on her property so that the sheep can get to a watering hole. The shepherd later sells his flock and moves out of the state, never intending to return. This conduct demonstrates that the shepherd has abandoned the easement, since he stopped using the path and intends never to use it again. Ownership of real property cannot be obtained because someone else abandoned it but may be gained through Adverse Possession. Elements of Abandonment Two things must occur for property to be abandoned: (1) an act by the owner that clearly shows that he or she has given up rights to the property; and (2) an intention that demonstrates that the owner has knowingly relinquished control over it. Some clear action must be taken to indicate that the owner no longer wants his or her property. Any act is sufficient as long as the property is left free and open to anyone who comes along to claim it. Inaction—that is, failure to do something with the property or nonuse of it—is not enough to demonstrate that the owner has relinquished rights to the property, even if such nonuse has gone on for a number of years. A farmer's failure to cultivate his or her land or a quarry owner's failure to take stone from his or her quarry, for example, does not mean that either person has abandoned interest in the property. A person's intention to abandon his or her property may be established by express language to that effect or it may be implied from the circumstances surrounding the owner's treatment of the property, such as leaving it unguarded in a place easily accessible to the public. The passage of time, although not an element of abandonment, may illustrate a person's intention to abandon his or her property. Parental Abandonment of Children Parental abandonment of children is different from other cases of abandonment in that it involves a person rather than property. Abandonment of children is a criminal Cause of Action under most state laws. In the civil context, it arises when a court decides to terminate the natural rights of the parent on the grounds of abandonment to allow Adoption. In a criminal context, abandonment of children is defined as actually abandoning a child, or failing to provide necessities of living to a child. In California, for example, a parent is guilty of abandonment if they fail to provide "necessary clothing, food, shelter or medical attendance, or other remedial care for their child." A parent is required to accept their minor child into their home, or provide alternative shelter. Parents in California are also punished for "desertion with intent to abandon." These laws are typical of most states. In the late 1990s, the issue of baby abandonment in the United States came to a head as a result of several high profile cases. These cases prompted 38 states to pass so-called "safe haven laws." The laws decriminalize baby abandonment by allowing mothers to leave their unharmed babies at a designated "safe." location such as a hospital, fire station, or licensed child-placing agency. The laws include a time frame, beginning from the baby's birth, in which abandonment may take place; the time frame varies from state to state, ranging from 72 hours up to one year. In a civil context, abandonment of a child is usually ruled on by a court to facilitate an adoption. State courts employ various guidelines to determine if a child has been abandoned. In an action for adoption on the ground of abandonment, the petitioner generally must establish conduct by the child's natural parent or parents that shows neglect or disregard of parental duties, obligations, or responsibilities. They must also show an intent by the child's parent or parents to permanently avoid parental duties, obligations, or responsibilities. Some jurisdictions require an actual intention of the parents to relinquish their rights to find abandonment, but most allow a finding of abandonment regardless of whether the parents intended to extinguish their rights to the child.

Abandonment of a spouse means intent at permanent separation, and with children a lengthy period of neither contact nor any support. In maritime law abandonment has a special meaning: when an owner surrenders a ship and its contents to a trustee for the benefit of claimants, particularly after a wreck. If one invents something and does not get a patent but allows others to use the invention or dedicates it to public use, the right to patent is probably abandoned. Confusion arises over abandonment of water rights, mining rights, or rights of way, since mere non-use is not sufficient to show abandonment.

2. No particular form is required for an abandonment, nor need it be inwriting; but it must be explicit and absolute, and must set forth thereasons upon which it is founded.
3. It must also be made in reasonable time after the loss.
4. It is not in every case of loss that the insured can abandon. In thefollowing cases an abandonment may be made: when there is a total loss; whenthe voyage is lost or not worth pursuing, by reason of a peril insuredagainst or if the cargo be so damaged as to be of little or no value; orwhere the salvage is very high, and further expense be necessary, and theinsurer will not engage to bear it or if what is saved is of less value thanthe freight; or where the damage exceeds one half of the value of the goodsinsured or where the property is captured, or even detained by an indefiniteembargo ; and in cases of a like nature.
5. The abandonment, when legally made transfers from the insured to theinsurer the property in the thing insured, and obliges him to pay to theinsured what he promised him by the contract of insurance. 3 Kent, Com. 265;2 Marsh.

In maritime contracts in the civil law, principals aregenerally held indefinitely responsible for the obligations which theiragents have contracted relative to the concern of their commission but withregard to ship owners there is remarkable peculiarity; they are bound by thecontract of the master only to the amount of their interest in the ship, andcan be discharged from their responsibility by abandoning the ship andfreight.

3. The abandonment must be made by the owner without being pressed byany duty, necessity or utility to himself, but simply because he wishes nolonger to possess the thing; and further it must be made without any desirethat any other person shall acquire the same; for if it were made for aconsideration, it would be a sale or barter, and if without consideration,but with an intention that some other person should become the possessor, itwould be a gift: and it would still be a gift though the owner might beindifferent as to whom the right should be transferred; for example, hethrew money among a crowd with intent that some one should acquire the titleto it. ABANDONMENT, malicious. The act of a husband or wife, who leaves his or herconsort willfully, and with an intention of causing perpetual separation.

One may abandon both tangible assets, such as tools or real estate, or intangible assets, such as patents or leases.

Legal abandonment sometimes requires filing declaration of intent to do so with the appropriate authorities. Sometimes, a person may obtain abandoned property for free, though this does not apply to real estate. See also: Adverse possession.
2. See: Expiration.abandonment See expiration.abandonmentAn intentional surrender, disclaimer, or termination of ownership with no stated intention regarding who the next owner should be. Legally requires some external evidence of an intention to abandon; simply neglecting property will not suffice.

Sometimes abandoned property will escheat to the state.abandonment
