What do you think made a wealthy person be a 'deadbeat dad' and not want to acknowledge the child?

Wondering you can imagine a scenario you'd be ok with.

I for one know of a guy that was told by his gf she was on birth control. Turns out she purposely wasn't so that that she could have a baby with him. This isn't someone's guess. This was told to my sister by her best friend.

Even if my GF lied and got pregnant then I wouldn't string her and the kid along for years, and put off a paternity test until just before I strike it filthy rich.

Not everyone is as accepting of fraud as you.

That is still not the same thing as a deadbeat dad, which is someone that knowingly created a child and then abandoned it.

I like how the people that downvote don't even reply. Apparently no matter what a woman does, what she lies about, what kind of fraud she commits, you must line up and be an accepting father due to her criminal acts.
