Very well put, ND! :-)

My stepson's mom also tried to argue that we should contribute to clothes... and for years we had to buy the child clothes (she would refuse to send clothes with the child for visits). It wasn't until my husband brought the issue up in court that the judge told her that child support pays for clothing and that it is her responsibility to provide clothing with the child for visits and vacations. You should have seen the look of horror on her face! (Sorry... no more Carribean vacations twice a year!)
