December 27, 2006 5:21pm CST
So ladies and gentlemen lets here what you think about men who make these beautiful children then walk out of there lives like they dont exist. I personally have a dead beat babies daddy and I am not happy that he has made the desision of walking out of his life like he doesnt even exist. Any recommendations on that I can do or say to this guy or any legal route i can take? What has been your experience(if you have had this happen)I personally would like to hear from both sides.

honestly, if ever i get pregnant and the father does not care about the fact that he's gonna be a father soon, i won't force him to be responsible just because of the situation. i will take care of the baby, supper the baby financially, physically and emotionally. i will be a good mother to her/him even if the father seems not to exist at all. and if i get to meet him one day while walking with my baby, i'll smile and whisper to him: thank you for the baby! goodbye!

your child deserves the right to have the support of two parents! It is your responsibility to assure he gets it.

you are living in a fantasy world if you think for one second you will walk by a man and say thank you for the baby! Children dont grow and live on love alone sweety! You must not have children and thats ok. But all children need MONEY to live. And both parents need to contribute whether together or not.

Thank God he left and is out of your life..my advice to you is to work hard and bring your child up on your own. Provide lots of care adn attention. Now is not the time for court orders and other men to disrupt. Children who are well nurtured by single parents feel in no way inadequate. You kno what could haev been worse. the dad being around and still not providing so hatred builds and affect your child for life.Move on sweetie. You can do it.

the funny thing kerry is that i have moved on...I dont want him! As God is my witness i havent called him since the day he didnt come home one day! But whats worse is we never faught we always talked about our feelings. Well at least I thought we did. I think I am doing right by my son. I would never talk bad about his dad in front of him or even to anyone else. I have that much respect.

dont say anything to this guy i would take him to court for child support so he can fill his finacial responcibility.he will have no choice if it is court ordered.I know some guys who go and make babies and then leave like they do not exist it is awful.myex has 13 kids that he has done this to which is horrible.your son does not need a dad like this he has a mom that has been there for him and that loves him.

As a guy, I just cant understand why a husband would do something like that. It blows my mind to think that someone would walk out on his own flesh and blood. Let me also maybe mention the flip side here. Its not only men who walk out on their families, women can also do that although Im sure its statistically much less prevelant. But I think one should be careful to coin a term like that in this day and age, rather make it an asexualy/non-gender based term.

you are right! but I was talking about my childs Father. I know a woman who walked out on her 9 children and left them with there father. That man was my dad. He raised all his kids alone until he met my mother. They are still together till this day.

my dad left us when i was 11 because he wanted to start his damn life with someone else. my mother was like my all time hero because she was able to support all 6 children and was able to sent us to good universities. i owe everything to my mom. i think that if my mom and my dad stayed together, i might got married earlier or my life went to a blistering hell... i know that my life is not really complete because i never had a dad around. and i will blame him for the rest of my life. but as what i have learned from my experience is that if the father doesn't want you... the hell with him... you are better off taking care of your children by yourself than to force yourself to a selfish brat. your children would be much unhappier and suffer more... just get that monthly support that you need from him but don't include him in your life. you deserve a much better man.

We have this dadds moms who makes this. And the kid is the one who will miss and lose a lot in the end. But do also see that this is a seeing from one persons acting and not from both of the parents.There are dadds and moms who effects children bad with bad talking and makes the kid and the other parent splits If your ex do not want to have anything with the kid and do then take it to the court and let him have to say what he feels and so on with it. If he dose´t show up and want to fight against u then u do know that he really not want to be there. We people do act in a lot of diffrent ways because we don´t know how to handle situations. Maybe your ex coulden´t fix and have a baby who take so much times and he thinking that he makes you a good thing here and leva so his not a problem. Do try to understand the other side

you are so correct! It isnt hurting me at all! I could care less about him(besides the fact that he is my sons father) But my son will hurt over it. He will have a loving father who will show him the way to be a man and thats all that really matters now.

Get a paternity test and file child support. I wouldnt want someone in my childs life that didnt want to be there. But he did help make the baby, and I'd want his money to take care of my kids.

he doesnt deny his child. And he was a good man before the baby was born. I knew him for a long time was together for a long time. discussed having a baby BEFORE he was conceived. Just HE decided to change his mind....lucky him!

I would think that if a parent could do that, then the chances are that your child is better off without them.... Just get as much money out of him as you can!

I havedone the child support thing. Havent recieved a dime of course! but money isnt an issue for me..I dont even pursue it. I figure when his credit is ruined and he cant buy the things he likes he will then remember he has a son.

you can make him pay support or you can get amancpation from him were he gives up all rights to the child.frist you have to go to court to get anything done.get a lawyer or a fed.aid one.take him to court

i wouldnt want him to give up his rights. We did this together he needs to take responsibility.

If he is not willing to be a part of your children's life then they are better off without him. It is a sad thing that a persn would do this to their own children but it happens all the time. Is he supporting them financially at least? If he isn't you should contact prosecutors office and they can get him to pay support.

No he isnt paying support but is supposed to pay! It has been a year now. And believe me I dont really need the money but since he doesnt want to be a part of his ONLY sons life and wants to hurt him I decided to hurt him where i know it will hurt the most...in his pockets! Although I havent recieved a cent yet he will remember he has a son when he wants to buy a car or mortgage a home or renew his license in the future. Thank you for the response.

I'm not sure the route to take, but social services can get the money from his paychecks if he won't pay it on his own... If he's this worthless and deadbeat, just try to find yourself a man who's worth a cobbler's damn, and move on.

My oldest daughters father came to her 1st birthday party and that was it. We lived in Georgia at the time and his father was a judge and it was like pulling teeth to get child support from him. Small little Georgia towns can be very, very crooked. Well, I moved to Florida soon after and Florida could care less what your Daddy does for a living. They went after him, they took money from his check when he wasn't working under the table, and locked him up when he got too far behind. I would always know when had been locked up because I wouldn't get any money for awhile, and then boom a big check would come. You need to go down right away to your Child Support Recovery Unit, and apply. That way there will be an order in place and you can go back to it through the years when need be.My daughters father never had anything to do with her, and she hates him to this day. She tried to call him on his birthday once years ago and he hung up on her. I never let that happen again, and if I had been in Georgia at the time someone would of had to bail me out of jail. You don't mess with my children, ever! Your child deserves to be taken care of!! Make him play his part financially if nothing else.

My daughter's father is a deadbeat. We were together for 4 years before we had her and then 2 1/2 years after she was born and when I split up with him he didn't want to see her anymore. I went after him for child support but the state doesn't seem to try hard enough to collect money unless the woman is on welfare and the man has to pay them back as well. After fighting a long time he went to jail several times and eventually decided he wanted to terminate his rights so he didn't have to pay me, which was fine because that would get him out of my life. I met a wonderful man who wanted to adopt my daughter but he unfortunately passed away 6 months ago. My daughters father read in the paper about my fiancee dying and called me to see if he could see my dughter who is now 10 and I said yes and he blew her off twice...made plans and never showed up !!! How could someone do that after she just lost the only father figure she ever had????? They don't change, once a deatbeat always a deadbeat!
