Disownment
LEGAL TERM FOR WHEN PARENTS CHOOSE NOT TO ACCEPT THEIR OWN CHILD/CHILDREN
Disown; Disowned; Disowning; Kicked out of home
Disownment occurs when a parent renounces or no longer accepts a child as a family member, usually when the child does something that is perceived as unbecoming and those actions lead to serious emotional consequences. Different from giving a child up for adoption, it is a social and interpersonal act and usually takes place later in the child's life, which means that the disowned child would have to make their own arrangements for future care.
