He is $3,000 ($200/mos) behind on child support and dropped health insurance in May 2007. We get maybe one phone call a month and no other correspondence. When is he considered a deadbeat dad? Does he still have any parental rights or is this a breach of our divorce? Basically, if he shows up to get him, can he?
