Broke Scholar

How do you get a dead-beat father to pay child support that stems back for years?

My mother was married to my father for sixteen long years. One day, he decided that he wanted to leave behind his responsibilities and move away with his mistress. There was a huge problem, he had seven children with my mother! That didn’t at all deter his cowardly actions, he simply walked out of the front door.

He never looked back once or called in over 15 years, until he needed one of the daughters, whom was all grown up now. The point is, he never paid a cent in child support and evaded the court system for over a decade. Something should have and could have been done. Legally, he owes thousands and thousands in back child support. In the U.S., men usually have their licenses suspended and may do jail time when they refuse to pay child support.
