Clothing expenses should be paid from the child support. If you find there isn't enough being paid and your circumstances have changed (for example- older children cost more to raise) you have to go back to court and request that the child support order be increased. If he is not paying regularly pursuant to the court ordered child support, you can file a motion for contempt with the court. If necessary, they can arrange to take the money directly from his wages.

If you have 2 children from different mothers and your married to one of your child's mom how does child support work?

In general, child support is based on a percentage of net income. For example, in Illinois, the older/oldest child would receive 20% of net income. If you are also the NCP of the younger child, that child would receive 20% of your net income after deducting payments ordered and made for the older child. Being the custodian of a child does not reduce child support for other children, either older or younger, for whom you are the NCP. see link below for additional info on this
