I've searched this site but was unable to find an answer to this question. My X is not providing my children with the things they need when they are with me. My kids are telling me they need to go shopping for clothes to keep at my house when they're there. Isn't that the whole reason I pay my X $1000/month? Am I really expected to provide clothing for my kids when they're with me as well? I guess my question is a general, what obligations does the custodial parent have toward providing for the children? Where is the line drawn? The court defined my monetary obligation in strict detail. They forgot to mention what it was for though . . .
