First, deadbeat fathers are not in the majority. The last statistics I read from the U.S. Census bureau stated that between 70 - 75% of fathers pay all of their support on time and in full monthly, versus only about 45% of women. Also, the 45% number is still wrong, because most women are CP's and the statistic doesn't take the "stay at home mom" factor into account, so 45% is probably high.
Secondly, dads are not wallets/ATM machines. If all fathers are good for is paying, why should they pay? Is a father who pays all the time but never sees his kids a good father or a deadbeat?
Finally you say: "I feed and clothe my 3 growing teenagers on WHAT?? Welfare, church assistance, food from food kitchens, my parents, etc."
Do you have a job? If not, why not? If you're strictly judging dad on whether or not he pays and you don't have a job, you too are a deabeat. Don't get upset, just trying to make a point. If you are on welfare, then we the taxpayers are supporting your kids, not you and not your ex.
