A deadbeat is a male/female who claims to be the parent of a child, and does pay child support, but fails to take part in the child's life. They never call first, forget to send birthday and Christmas presents sometimes, and go off to start another family of their own, with a wife/husband, kids and pets, and are able to support their "other family" financially and emotionally. Meanwhile, the child and their mother/father are struggling to make ends meet and sometimes pay rent. The said deadbeat parent feels to take it upon themselves to file for court ordered visitations, thus causing more stress for the other parent and the child at a very young age. This is also someone who cuts off all ties entirely with the other parent and child.
