"DEADBEAT DADS"—A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE SUBJECT
In Deadbeat Dads . . . Overused and abused, Attorney Christopher A. Pearsall argues that the term "Deadbeat Dads" is "often overused, misused and even abused both by attorneys and by mothers who are simply angered that they are not receiving the funds the court ordered for the support of the child or children regardless of the circumstances." He writes further that "the term is thrown around not simply descriptively but with the intent to injure the father or otherwise taint the court’s opinion" when "[i]n truth, there are many fathers who are struggling, financially, personally, emotionally and mentally." We think that Mr. Pearsall makes some valid points, not to mention that in an earlier post we noted the fact that MANY SOUTH CAROLINA "DEADBEATS" ARE JUST "DEAD."
