[quote=Anonymous]My dad was a deadbeat. He told me he refused to pay because my mom would only waste the money on clothes and shoes.

It was true that IF he had paid child support, then she would not have had to have born the whole cost of raising me alone, and that would have freed up money in our budget for her to buy things for herself. But she would never have bought shoes for herself if she had not already bought them for me (and put a roof over my head, paid for food, etc.).

It was just an excuse. As it really was, my dad inherited over a million from his parents but was destitute (commodities trading) when he died. My mom worked in pink collar jobs her whole life, was homeless for awhile, and still managed to leave  me a six-figure inheritance when she died.

The moral of the story, OP, is that you aren't going to get a deadbeat dad on here who will be willing to justify his actions because they all know there is no justification. It's not a logical decision, it's an emotional one. My dad wanted to get even with my mom for leaving him. Simple as that.[/quote]
