For every father that is "screwed" there are probably 10 mothers with deadbeat exes.

Thats very true.... I've personally known/know a number of deadbeat dads who contribute nothing ($$$ or otherwise) towards the raising of their kids.
I'm sure everyone else on this board can say the same thing too. My own wife has a son (he's an adult now) and his biological father contributed NOTHING, after the divorce (they got divorced when the child was 2). .... not even an occasional birthday card.
