| Matthew Tate Deadbeat Dad, Fraud Lakewood, California |

| Matthew Tate of Lakewood CA, A US Navy Reserve Petty Officer First Class, Marine Corporal, and Army Reserve officer (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/mathew-tate/37/a24/14) seems like an honest man. But a secret from his past sullies Matthew's illustrious Military career, and his name as a good man. In 1990, Matthew Tate fathered a child. In two decades, Matthew has never payed child support to the mother. Megan was born on May 9, 1991. Her mother raised her by working 2 jobs during the time she was pregnant, supporting her child and herself without any assistance from the father, until recently when he has weaseled his way back into the life of Megan and her mother, as a "friend" who may or may not do the occasional favor for Megan or her mother, and always feels he is owed "Respect" and "Gratitude" for his insignificant gestures of self-serving kindness. I myself have friends and family in branches of the Military, and have always been told that members of the military and their commanding officers take refusal to pay child support very seriously. Matthew has continued to be peripherally involved in Megan's life. Typical of many deadbeat dads, Matthew makes promises to Megan he has no intention of keeping. He does the occasional favor to keep himself in good graces with the family (like minor repairs to Megan's 1996 Honda Accord, with over 300,000 miles on it.) Matthew promised to help Megan purchase a new car; even offered to buy her one outright, but just never seems to have enough money to fulfill his promises. Even simple things, like asking her father to put her on his cellphone plan, Matthew "just can't afford" the $100 fee to do. However, Matthew has found the time and capital to launch his own "Alternative Fuel Development" company he claims is working with Dodge, collects pension from The Navy after 10 years of duty, and owns a Custom Truck shop called "Go Big Garage" in Lakewood, CA. It is an issue of pride for the mother to refuse to follow up on this matter herself. After all, she raised her daughter, with little to no support from the father for two decades, and believes she is "protecting his family" by keeping silent. It is out of concern for Megan, her basic medical coverage, and her family that I am submitting this report. I do not mean to drag a good man's name through the mud, but I cannot idly stand by and watch a man who lectures others about the "Respect" he is owed, continue to use a mother and child he has refused to support for 20 years of his life. |

| I know this person, and I have to tell you, I don't think you got all the info there. I know for a fact that he no longer has the go big garage after his last deployment overseas due to an injury he received. Second, he was injured while serving our country, and has very limited income due to that, he still has to report to base while he waits for his med board to finish, which has taken two years now. Third, you are not aware of the private dealings of these people I am sure, otherwise you would know more that what you have read from a profile of what is really going on. So before you go saying things you don't have facts on, to try to make someone look bad, get the details of what you are talking about correct or it might just turn around and bite you.He has never refused to pay child support, there has always been an agreement between him and Megan's mom. Funny, you don't see her here saying anything negative about him, and I have told her about this site. hhhmmm. There is no court order against him, there has never been any restriction against him seeing his daughter. He admits openly that he was not a perfect father, does that make him evil?He is currently working on a new company, something he hopes will put the future in a bright new light for all, but with the economy the way it is, investors are not easy to come by, and those that are interested, take their time. So, does he go out and party? spend money freely? drive fancy cars? live a luxury life? NO. He is not receiving any pension from the Navy, he gets 644 each month for being a disabled veteran. He has one truck, does not go out, goes to school, stays at home, and works hard to get his company up and running so that he can take care of Megan. Get your fact straight there. I have never seen him demand respect from anyone. He gives it. Good luck on your bashing, if you have ever really met this man in person, you would know that half of your 'facts' are not even true.
