Yes. A deadbeat is "a person who deliberately avoids paying debts" or a "parent who neglects parental responsibilities, esp. one who does not pay child support".
Custody has nothing to do with child support. While I do agree that there are many custodial parents who think it does and utilize their children in a sad and unfortunate game, a parent who does not pay court-ordered support is still entitled to see their child(ren).
