Deadbeat Dad is slang for a father who neglects to pay court ordered child support. Although it is derrogatory it is also an accurate description. Non-payment of child support can have adverse consequences for children of divorced parents.

There are many reasons:

  • many men bring children into the world without thinking that they can't afford them
  • many men do not feel responsible for practicing contraception and do not feel responsible for the resulting pregnancy
  • they cannot afford child support
  • men don't give birth and many think the child is the woman's responsibility
  • many times the sexual encounter is casual sex without any emotional aspect
  • they seek to punish or control a woman who doesn't want to be with them anymore
  • stupidity and irresponsibility
  • they simply don't care
  • they expect someone else to pay to support their child- usually the taxpayer
  • some men are proud to possess a host of baby-mothers thinking it enhances their manhood- which it doesn't
  • some men just never grow up

Someone who is useless, a "worthless sponging idler." The term dates from the US Civil War.

Want list of Dead beat dads in Escambia county?

I think there should be a list of dead beat dads in escambia county. I also think that their pictures and the amount they owe should be put on the bill boards like they to for criminals on hwy 29 in Pensacola, Florida. I also believe that the treats should stop and more action taken. I can remember when you use to see one person for your case as in: Food stamps, wic, housing and child support enforcement now you don't you have to see so many different people the case gets lost and the action gets slower and slower and the child is the one who suffers. I also feel that dead beat moms should be added to that list and anyone who lies under oath or can prove they are defrauding the system should also be locked up asap just as the dead beat dads and moms should be. Will there ever be a solution to this problem? Only when action is taken put some of the people out of work and let them help in tracking these people down! Or help in processing paper work!
