The conversation is always had about deadbeat fathers, but what about deadbeat mothers and why are we not talking about it. This is definitely happening at an alarming static Census figures show only %57 percent of moms required to pay child support. 385,000 women out of a total of 674,000 give up some or all of the money they owe. That leaves some 289,000 "deadbeat" mothers out there, a fact that has barely been reported in the media.
