When the non-custodial parent pays a good amount in child support, plus buys new clothing two to three times per year, should they still have to go in

They have joint custody with the ex-wife being the primary custodian.

If you have the means why not kids dont come with a price tag or should i say what is yours worth enough of being tacky your kid is blessed to have a parent that actualy pays child support. you are close to the end time of when you will have to pay and some of the most important and yes expensive time of her life . try to be supportive it will mean the most to her and not to the xxx.

We also have two other children who live in the home with us.Why shouldn't the child support be able to take care of that especially since we do a lot for all of them quite frequently. They really don't have to ask for anything they need. We make sure they have that.

Child support is based on what the court thinks not the actual. it sounds like you take very good care of your family always take pride in it .kids know who supports them after all they all are sneeky little easdropers and know more about your business than you think .i hope who splits what does not become a major issue if it doesn't have to.,===good luck

If you are paying a large amount in child support in addition to paying for other expenses, your ex is lucky! I think you guys should talk and work it out so you both know what expenses each of you are willing and finacialy able to. You shouldnt be obligated to pay support and all other expenses your self.
