Gov. Doug Ducey isn't pulling any punches when dealing with our state's "deadbeat" parents.
In his State of the State address Monday, Ducey made it clear that the Dept. of Economic Security is targeting mothers and fathers who owe child support -- with #deadbeat.

"I'm talking to deadbeat dads," Ducey said in Monday's address. "For too long, you've been able to remain anonymous - able to skirt your financial and legal responsibilities with no shame. Not anymore."
Ducey's website allows the public to provide tips about a child support evaders.
Ducey said he hopes this will help secure funds Valley mothers and children have been missing out on for years.
"If you don't want your embarrassing, unlawful, and irresponsible behavior going viral: Man up, and pay up."
