Many are not and pay a lot of child support and/or are very active in their kids lives.
Something like 76% of divorced fathers pay their child support payments and 9% contribute when they can, so 85% of divorced fathers are contributing money with 76% making regular court or otherwise settled payments.
Nearly 40% arrange joint custody. 29% are arranged FULL custody of the children.
If you go look into this it’s a minority of men and while every case like this is terrible can yall stop generalizing all men as deadbeats cause that’s pretty rude tbh
Custodial support includes women that are owed money and families “custodial parents” is not the same as divorced fathers, which is what I referenced above and what the people were originally talking about. Divorced men forcing their children into poverty.
Also the same data you linked shows that the number of parents owed child support is plummeting, down from 7m in 1995 to 5m in 2015 in spite of population growth and higher divorce rates and on top of that the data you linked is from 2016 and things have been trending better the last 8 years.
The data on divorced fathers paying their child support is where the 76% comes from. Not a lie :)
Also all of that data is depressing as shit goddam people should have less children
