First off why is child support an issue? Why wouldn't you have at least one or two outfits on hand for these situations. What if your child had an"accident" and needed clean clothes? These are perfect reasons why a lot of children suffer after divorce. Nit picky issues. Parents should think about the child's feelings. It could be a favorite shirt but only worn at mommys house. That's stupid! So what if a pair of socks gets left behind?To squelch the problem, think of this.. would you want to run around naked because your parents squabbled over your clothes?
Get over it and focus on more important issues. It's YOUR kids who suffer and will remember how childish this battle really was. So yes. Provide an outfit or two, but be sure to send the outfits from "other house" home with the child.
Child support payments are not intended to go to the child. They are intended to help maintain the quality of life for the child and custodial parent. That means they go toward rent, utilities such as heat, electricity and hot water, phone expenses, food, clothing, shoes, medical needs, school expenses, transportation, entertainment- if there is anything left, etc. The custodial parent has the right to spend the money in any way money is spent on necessities in an intact family. Once you make your payments you have no control over how the funds are spent.
Child support is paid to the custodial parent. Generally you have no control over it unless you have evidence the mother is neglecting the children. In that case you would need to try to gain custody yourself or have the court arrange some supervision. The problem of fathers who do not want to pay child support over to their ex-wives is extremely common. However, the custodial parent has the right to decide how to spend the child support in any way that benefits the children, within reason, without having to account to the child support obligor. It is not "spending money" for the child. Child support is provided for help in paying for the child's needs that can include anything that must be provided for the child including shoes and clothing, medical and dental expenses, school expenses, rent, recreational activities, heat and utilities and food.
Legally, a parent or legal guardian can remove all but clothing and necessities, such as a bed. ALL parents have used the "consequences" form of punishment, which is to remove items for a day, a week, a month, etc. AFTER age 18, if a child is given something then it becomes his/her property.
You haven't provided enough detail. Generally, although children do not generally have property rights, the adults in the situation should make certain the child's property goes with them such as their computer, clothing, electronic devices, bikes, sports equipment, bedroom furniture, etc.You haven't provided enough detail.

Child support is the non-custodial parent's portion of the expenses of the child, including housing, food, clothing and so on. It is up to the custodial parent whether an "allowance" can be paid to the child from the child support amount.
If the non-custodial parent pay child support that is supposed to cover the expenses for clothes, yes.
Yes, where else do you expect your children to sleep? I had to have a bed for my child although he/she was living with the other parent so I bet your husband/wife will expect the same from you. You wouldn't expect your children to sleep with you or on the sofa would you? I certainly wouldn't with mine. I'd expect a bed from him/her to sleep in.
Absolutely not. Shelter, food and clothing basics are it. If the child wants phone service, he/she should go to work and earn the money. Or, if the non-custodial parent differs, and the custodial parent agrees, he can pay for it.

Notice to the custodial parent is an important thing to most of them. It is advised that the visiting, or non-custodial parent, observe the formalities of the visitation requirements, especially in early days of the divorce relationship.Fights break out easily enough in these matters without fanning the flames. Considerate treatment of each other goes a long way towards dosing the flames, at least to a smoldering condition.1. Sign the letter.2. Keep a folder with letters of this kind in them, especially if you are the person paying child support, alimony, and the like (generally the non-custodial parent).3. Courts have made it clear, on a repetitive basis, that payment or nonpayment of child support and various other financial matters do not impact the rights to visit the minor children involved.4. This means the non-custodial parent may not withhold money payments if their visitation rights are violated and custodial parents may not withhold visitation rights if money is not paid as due by court order or agreement, certified by the court.5. Visitation is supposed to be about the children. Try to keep it that way. Good luck!
No. The purpose of child support is to help pay the day to day costs of caring for a child. It can be used at the discretion of the custodial parent for rent, mortgage, utility bills, auto expenses, food, clothing, medical expenses, entertainment, educational needs, etc. You cannot pay it over to a child because it is a right owned by the custodial parent and the funds are the property of the custodial parent.
In Florida, what is taken into consideration is the custodial AND non-custodial parents income. An affidavit is filed in court (for the hearing), to accurately provide the financial information on both parents. Those numbers need to be verified and are used to determine the custodial parents' financial obligation for all expenses regarding the childrens' needs AND the non-custodial parents' obligation for the same. Usually 49% and 51% respectively. For example: Custodial parents' income is higher than non-custodial. 4 teenagers in High School (no daycare) with higher than normal expenses for food, clothing etc. No medical issues require a total of $1200/month to raise. Custodial parent- 49%= $588 (doesnt have to be paid because you have kids) Non-custodial parent-51%= $612 (you are "awarded" this amount) IF SHE EVEN PAYS
The Judge or Mediator will specifically state the "terms" of what each party should and should not do. For example, if the Court gives visitation to the father every Wednesday evening, and every weekend from 7p.m. Friday night until 7p.m. Sunday night, that outlines when the father may see/visit/pick up his children. But, it also implies what the mother will do: allow visitation to occur without interference at those times. As well, the Court should not have to say "if your visitation is until 7p.m. we should not have to tell you that the child must be returned by 7 p.m., not after". So read your Court Order. Make a Xerox Copy of it and on the Xerox highlight everything you should do. Write it out on a piece of paper in your own words, to be sure you understand. Ask your attorney to explain anything you do not understand. Never change the Court's Order without having the Court put it in writing. Problems arise when two people agree privately to do X,Y,and Z, but no one has officially put those new "terms" in writing. *** IMPORTANT -- Most parents misunderstand the visitation versus child support. The two are separate issues. Support MUST be paid -- always. The child/ren must eat, have clothing, pay for school supplies. The custodial parent cannot withhold visitation simply because he or she did not receive the support. The non-custodial parent cannot stop paying support, even if the custodial parent "won't let me see my kids". Instead, these two issues must be kept separate. Non-custodial parents are not paying support for the right to see their kids; custodial parents cannot punish the other parent by withholding support if the support is not paid.
Child support is intended to help pay for the basic living expenses, such as rent, utilities, clothing, insurance and the like, all of which remain the same even when the child is visiting the non-custodial parent.
depends if they pay child support. if they do then yes because kids clothing is not cheap
If you are living with someone who is not the childâ??s parent, they have no obligation to pay toward support of your child. If your live-in boyfriend pays toward shelter, clothing, food, or other items, the non-custodial parent paying support can try to petition the court for a decrease in support payments. It would be up to a judge, and it would depend whether or not the non-custodial parent can prove it. Every state has a formula setting a minimum amount of child support based on the financial resources of the parent, and takes into consideration other factors.
Of course. Just because a child's parent is irresponsible that doesn't mean her non-custodial parent should be freed from the responsibility of supporting her. She still needs food, clothing, medical care, a place to live, etc.Of course.
