Great idea. I have known some deadbeat parents that truely believed they were in the right for not supporting their children.
Some folks can rationalize anything, I hope these deadbeats pay up.
My dad gave triple what the state mandated just because he cared about me.

It’s always the children of divorce who believe their parents should pay 3 times as much or maintain a certain standard of living for them, whether they can afford it or not…because you see, we all sacrifice for our kids, but when parents are married, the ENTIRE family sacrifices when things are down…but not for divorced children, they feel entitled to only the best…and of course, so do those ex-wives who believe their ex’s should support them as well…and if they can’t, go to jail…meanwhile, many of them work low paying jobs or no jobs and justify not financially supporting their children as much as their fathers…because they are supporting them emotionally…now if a man said he was supporting his child emotionally, even though not financially, he would still go to jail…go figure…WHAT A WELFARE state we have created making others believe that we have a right to the standard of living some idiot in government or ex-wife states.

Me, I have zero sympathy for those who don’t pay their child support.
I believe that a parent has an obligation to pay their child support.
It is sad to see so many parents with the ability’ to pay child support, but yet refuse to do so.
Why should one parent be left paying the cost of raising a child.
“Based on estimates from the economics section of Manitoba Agriculture, the cost of raising a daughter to age 18 in 2004 was an average of $166,549. For boys, the figure was slightly higher – at $166,972 – due to extra costs for food.”
With the cost of living today that costs have gone up.
It is time parents paid up.

It’s a good idea in one way and in another it’s only gonna make them even more mad.I know some mothers who have the children and shouldn’t.I also know mothers out there that have kept there children from seeing there father,nothing happens to the mothers.I feel that this hole isue is clear it is to support mothers.Where is the site for deadbeat mothers and mothers who keep there children from seeing there fathers.We all know for a fact that 90 % of the fathers that don’t pay is due to they don’t see there children.

I think that it is a good website! I do think they should add some mothers on there! I am a single mom who has given the “deadbeat” chance after chance on seeing his daughter! When a person lies to a child time and time again!.. broken promises ALL the time.. a parent can only watch their child hurt for so long! so all this crap about some mothers not letting fathers see their child is kinda crap! Like i said! maybe some.. are tired of seeing a child hurt over selfishness!

I am a mom in Maine. Our deadbeat parent has a 14 year old son and still owes support for twelve of those years. The state of Maine attatched his wages for the last year, but in April of this year he left his job and has not notified Support enforcement of his intent to continue payment. Who suffers here? His son. And then his new family when support enforcement delivers the consequences for his actions.
