The term abandonment has a multitude of uses, legal and extra-legal. This article attempts to provide a guide to the various legal and quasi-legal uses of the word and includes links to articles that deal with each of the distinct concepts at greater length.
Abandonment, in law, is the relinquishment or renunciation of an interest, claim, privilege, possession, or right, especially with the intent of never again resuming or reasserting it. Such intentional action may take the form of a discontinuance or a waiver. This broad meaning has a number of applications in different branches of law. In common law jurisdictions, both common law abandonment and statutory abandonment of property may be recognized. Common law abandonment may be generally defined as "the relinquishment of a right [in property] by the owner thereof without any regard to future possession by himself or any other person, and with the intention to foresake [sic] or desert the right...."
Common law abandonment is "the voluntary relinquishment of a thing by its owner with the intention of terminating his ownership, and without [the intention of] vesting ownership in any other person; the giving up of a thing absolutely, without reference to any particular person or purpose...." An example of statutory abandonment in a common law jurisdiction is abandonment by a bankruptcy trustee under 11 U.S.C. § 554. In Scots law, failure to assert a legal right in a way that implies abandonment of it is called taciturnity.

Hey hey! Hey hey!
A man stands alone arms across his chest,
his heart pounding through his bones.
Denial wasn't supposed to be this way.
His passion fell to the ground
but beauty couldn't be found another way, another way.
Well only his answer would tell the story.
Three times were all he had to say yes
say yes say yea yea yea
but denial seemed so beautiful
three times were all he had to say yes
say yes say yea yea yea
but providence took its hold
Hey hey!
Tears drown his eyes, a puddle of shame at his feet
as the reflection of guilt overwhelms a broken man.
Dissent was all he had and he needed a reason to believe
this doesn't happen to only me.
Well only his answer would tell the story.
(Wake up and see we're all the same!)
Three times were all he had to say yes
say yes say yea yea yea
but denial seemed so beautiful
(Seemed (Seemed) So (So) Beautiful)
three times were all he had to say yes
say yes say yea yea yea
but providence(Providence!)took its hold
An electric pulse you can't escape
A force that rules the human race
Hold the hand of Providence
An electric pulse you can't escape
A force that rules the human race
Tonight the stars tell no fortunes, they tell no fortunes
Well only his answer would tell the story.
Three times were all he had to say yes
say yes say yea yea yea
but denial seemed so beautiful
Three times were all he had to say yes
say yes say yea yea yea
but providence took its hold
Took took took!
Took it's hold. Hey!
