deadbeat dad

A quick definition of deadbeat dad:

Term: Deadbeat Dad

Definition: A deadbeat dad is a father who has not been paying the money he is supposed to give to help take care of his children. This money is called child support. When a dad is a deadbeat, it means he is not doing his job as a parent and is not helping to provide for his children like he should be.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A deadbeat dad is a term used to describe a father who has not paid or is behind in making child-support payments.

Example: John is a deadbeat dad because he hasn't paid child support in six months.

Explanation: The example illustrates the definition by showing how John is not fulfilling his financial obligation to his child. He is not providing the necessary financial support to help raise his child, which can cause financial strain on the custodial parent and negatively impact the child's well-being.

Example: Sarah's ex-husband is a deadbeat dad because he never pays child support and rarely sees their children.

Explanation: This example shows how a deadbeat dad not only fails to provide financial support but also neglects his parental responsibilities by not spending time with his children. This can have a significant emotional impact on the children and cause resentment towards the absent parent.
