"Deadbeat Dads" Names in Louisville Newspaper

Monday August 1, 2005
I an new volley in the battle over child support, the Louisville Courier Journal will begin publishing the names of parents who are behind on child support. Fathers rights groups are crying foul, saying the names of mothers who deny legal visitation should also be published, and that sometimes child support is withheld for legitimate reasons.

There is no legitimate reason for non-compliance with a court order. Visitation is seperate from child support.

You never know the fathers situation people just assume that they are deadbeats. How about the mothers who talk bad about the fathers to the kids and make the kids against the father. There names should be in the paper for not letting them see there fathers.

These bitter woman are so nasty and bitter they cannot live without messing up the fathers life more than what they already have.

Tanita your an idiot how about we put your name in the paper for being just and idiot for your dumb comments.

Bottom line: take care of your priorities. If the mother was worried about her business instead of the father’s the kids wouldn’t have to hear about the problems between the parents. That doesn’t excuse the father from paying child support. You should see your children as much as possible and still pay your child support. Children can’t hug or get love from a check. If the mother won’t let you, take her to court. ONLY IF YOU EXHAUST EVERY OPTION! Remember that whatever happened between you and the mother has to be resolved or let go. There are children’s lives at stake. And at the end of the day, you can’t let history repeat itself.
