How to Report Deadbeat Dads

It takes to parents to create a child, but in some cases, only one parent raises them. This may be because the male decides to leave, or be a very poor father to his children. These men are still obligated, at least financially, to help raise their family, even if they are not around or are abusive toward their offspring. Reporting deadbeat dads is essential to help mothers and children get the support they deserve.

Things You'll Need

  • Information on the deadbeat

Instructions

    • 1

      Gather as much information as you can about the father. Name, address, phone number, occupation, and current location can greatly help locate the man.

    • 2

      If failure to pay child support is the issue, report as much information as you can obtain to the child support agency in the appropriate state. Provide this agency with your contact information, in case they need further information from you.

    • 3

      For abusive fathers, contact your local sheriff's department or Department of Family and Children's Services. This should be done immediately to ensure the safety of the children.

    • 4

      Report the deadbeat father to Uradeadbeat.com. This website allows you to post your story regarding the "father" who refuses to help properly care for his children, and allow it to be publicly displayed for others to read. This may not help in the fight against child support or abuse, but it can make you feel somewhat better about the situation.
