"let's not forget your share" lol you took the works out of my mouth. Seems too often the payor's contribution is the only amount considered.

Good to be back!
Well ... I see some new faces and some old!
DD! Got too love you ... you always know how to incite a riot! LOL
Well, having to pay a fortune in CS, my ex asked me to pay for life jackets for the kids since I will be taking them to the camper this year -- I told her, that my money tree has not blossemed yet!
So, again does CS cover items deemed 'for the children' ...

I see that I'm a little late on this post but I have a few questions. What does CS really cover? Food, Clothing, Shelter. Now what does everyone else do when they split their time with their ex`s. Do they send a bag of clothes back and forth? I am a payer and I would like it clarified on what CS covers. The ex asked me to supply my son with his own clothes at my house. I have a hard time with since I pay $1200/month for a single child.

wow! Is the $30 for a gift and wrapping worth saving so you child can stay home sad about not being able to attend his best friend's birthday?? Regardless of who has my child for the party I would feel like an ASS not doing whatever I can to help her go.
When my STBX has a birthday for one of his neices, nephews, he pays for the gift from our daughter, regardless of if it's on my time or his. And since I have no other kids on my side (yet) I pay for gifts for her friends. It is a decision that depends on each situation, but make it work for your child.

From what one judge told us, the only things CS does not cover is daycare, tutoring, additional education courses, and extracurricular activities at the elite level.
Hope this helps!
