My vote is for anyone who is all for going after deadbeat dads.

Pammie, just curious: what, exactly, is your definition of a deadbeat
dad? Is it any man who has a problem with being forced to pay 25% or
more of his take-home pay in child-support? How about if a good chunk
of that money is being used to also support children who aren't his?
How about if he can only see the child for a few hours a week, or not at
all? How about if it was the mother, not the father, who selfishly ran
out on the relationship with full knowledge of what she could expect
from her friends at the local CSE office?

There are a lot of very angry folks in this group who are angry for very
good reasons Pammie. Be careful that you don't do as the government
does and paint us all with the same brush.

Look at it this way: at least you have the love and joy of your daughter
being around you full-time. I believe if I were in your shoes, I'd be a
whole lot more comfortable than I am in mine. There are more important
things in life than money.
