Deadbeat Dad gets half of son's death benefit

He hadn’t seen his son in 30 years, was delinquent in child support, yet the court ruled he “legally” meets the definition of a parent.

At least he has to pay back child support. I hope the mom is successful in her appeal.

So hopefully the jerk won’t end up with all that much. If he gets half of the $50,000, then they take the child support of $20,000 out of that, he’ll only have $5000. Then there’s probably taxes.

What a jerk.

I don’t think there’s taxes on workers comp benefits.

But how horrible is that? Your husband walks out on you, you raise two sons to adulthood on your own with no support, then you lose one on Sept 11, and guess who comes crawling out of the woodwork with his hand out?

That sounds like something my father would do.
