Fathered children for the money. Picks a hard working female who has a super woman attitude who is working out who she is. Attaches himself to her because she looks like a free ride. Can't hold down a job. Doesn't help with the night feeds or nappy changes. Tries to take custody of the offspring once super women breaks under the pressure. Only wants custody for the. Welfare benefits and baby bonus. The dead beat dad spends 7 days a week at the pub. The dead beat dad likely lives with his mother.
No dead beat dad didn't take the kids this weekend. Yes dead beat dad is still going for custody. No dead beat dad still isn't working.

Get the dead beat dad mug.
A man who does not pay child support and/or maintain regular contact with his children. Or a bum who, though still sleeping with the mother, does nothing to contribute to the household either financially or by taking care of the home/children. Often an abusive man or an addict. Always lazy and self absorbed.
My mother had to garnish my dead beat dad's paycheck, but we still never hear from him.

Someone who does not pay child support, hasn't had a steady paycheck in at least a year, has a hooker of a girlfriend who has slept with at least two of his best friends, still lives with mommy and daddy and parties with people way too young for him because he doesn't know what priorities or responsibilities of a father should be.
"Wow, people really are oblivious to the difference between a playmate and a responsible father, huh?"

"Yeah, they don't see he is such a dead beat dad!"

See also buddy, playmate.

Antonyms- the gorgeous single guy across from your office, who is financial stable, has a successful job and wants to take you AND your daughter out.

has a child - doesn't visit the child, doesn't pay any child support, yet makes a million unkept promises.
a dead beat dad is the guy who works security at a trashy strip club, leaves his too classy highly paid intelligent loving wife and young child for the fugly red head stripper who overdosed on the collagen, then doesn't bother to see his daughter and quits his job soon after to live off the stripper so he doesn't have to pay child support.
