DEADBEAT MOM

deadbeat mom.Slang.1. A mother who has not paid or who is behind in making child-support

payments.  •  This  term  is  used  far  less  frequently  than  either  deadbeat  dad  or  deadbeat  parent,

probably  because  nearly  ten  times  as  many  men  as  women  fail  to  support  (or  are  ordered  to

support)  their  children  financially  after  divorce.  2.  An  able-bodied  mother  whose  income  is

derived from welfare payments, not from gainful employment. [Blacks Law 8th]
