• Fathers who are jobless but would want to support their child financially.

Child Support Enforcement in the US

The 1992 precedent of the state of California encouraged the whole country to implement a national policy in 1996 stating that all businesses having more than 4 employees are required to ask their workers of their respective social security numbers. In fact, a comprehensive list of all the deadbeat dads in the country can easily be found over the World Wide Web. Moreover, several states hold state tax refunds and suspend the driving licenses of these ruthless individuals for them to give their children what they deserve.

A deadbeat dad simply has no escape if he lives in the United States of America. It doesn’t matter if he has a high position in the society or not. If he chooses not to comply with the rules set by the court, then he is expected to suffer the consequences.
