Here's an interesting scenario:

Son lives w/Dad. Mom NEVER sends anything for anything (no birthday gifts, no Christmas gifts, nothing). Also never visits. Court eventually takes CS (min. $50/mth) directly out of her paycheck and threatens contempt if she doesn't pay up on her half of medical bills that are now a year old.  Court also tells her to pay our attorney bills.

Dad asks Mom to help w/school supplies and school fees of  $200. No reply from Mom. Same response from Mom concerning med  bills.

Son goes to live w/Mom when Mom doesn't want to discuss an increase in CS.

Even before son arrives at Mom's, we get an  email from Mom suggesting a separate bank account for the son that she wants us to contribute to so that when she thinks $10 Kmart shorts will do, but son wants $50 Nike shorts, son can get the more expensive shorts!!!

Some nerve. Funny how all the rules change when custody changes.

Child support is to pay for the child. Custodial parents know what these expenses entail when they get custody. To whine about them afterwards, is infantile.
