My three teens and one pre-teen moved in with me. She moved out of state, never wrote or called, never sent a dime, and on top of that claimed the kids on her taxed, despite the fact I had physical custody of them.

I dont think that the label "Deadbeat Dad"<BR/> is meant to label All men that are not with the mother of the children.
