I was told directly that clothing is the CP parent's responsibility. It is the NCP parent's responsibility to pay for activities, food, etc.. while the child/ren are in her/his care.
We have chosen to supply my stepchildren with clothing here. I buy them name brand, as this is where I shop for my kids. The mother got very jealous and we actually got a nasty response from her lawyer after buying the d9 a new winter coat (we were going skiing and hers was too small).
We used to have a problem where she would send the kids in old, small clothes. They would want to take the clothes we bought them back to her house. Of course, we let them because we want them to get use out of them.
The ex, however, demands that we keep "our stuff" at our house and vice versa. The clothes, in my opinion, belong to the kids. As long as they come in something decent and go back in something decent, one would think this is reasonable. Ha!
Encourage them young to make decisions and be responsible for their belongings.
