Self focused bm
My husband finally asked his ex why his son (13) doesn't have a winter coat & is wearing a 2 year old sweatshirt & high water pants. He pays $1500 a month child support. The custody evaluator said he is to text her ever time she sends the kids in clothes that are too small, mismatched, dirty, tattered, unacceptable in anyway. This is the first time he has! Her response: to the pants: he's growing so fast, I'll be buying him clothes on break (yeah I bet--- I can't wait to see the clothes this Friday-- husband will have to ask about the clothes again... I'm sure) As to the coat: he would like me to buy him all sorts of things, I'm not getting him a coat. Wow. It has been negative degrees. There's no sense in us getting him anything. She won't let the kids wear anything from us. What a sick loser mother. They have money, in addition to the child support. She just choses not to care for the kids. It's discusting.

Wow. That's all I can say.
Wow. That's all I can say. Can your DH file something with the court?
These are cases that my heart
These are cases that my heart breaks for the child/ren. Drama over clothes, be it one parent not allowing the child to wear clothes from the other, with-holding clothes, damaging clothes, end of the day its not like the exes can wear the damn clothes and yet it seems to be the most often issue.
What CS is to be used for is another subject for debate, some courts rule CS is actually for contributions towards bills, others feel its for bills and/or additional needs (clothes, materials, etc)
Personally how someone can get $1500 in CS is mad to me, some people live off that as their wage
She says there's nothing that
She says there's nothing that can be done in court. That to call the mom on it every single time & eventually she will get embarrassed. This is the first time he has done it. So we will see this Friday if she follows thru on new clothing. He refuses to wear clothing provided at our houses. He always looks at clothes when we are out & we say, get it, he won't. So when the next holiday comes, we get it. He won't wear it & mom sends the clothes back. Won't let him wear them. I've been around 5 years. The kids have never worn clothes their size. Step daughter has never worn clothes that match or that is acceptable for her age. Evaluator told my husband to do this 8 months ago & he just did it this week.
