deadbeat dads

Not anyone in this country can get a job. So whoever just said that is obviously misinformed. What if you get badly injured on the job? Furthermore, it isn't so simple: deadbeat dads aren't always negelecting to pay for their children because they don't want to pay for them! In many cases, which I can completely sympathize with, a man who is seperated from his child--whose wife has taken his kids away from him--should not have to pay child support. Let him say "hello" to his daughter and to his son, let him play with them and help them learn, and then he should be obliged to pay child support.
