Right!  The ex has to tell you what size your husband's child wears?  There are multiple problems here. [/quote]

+1.  Weird how you treat the ex like a secretary or someone who has to submit business expenses to you.  Can't you just ask the kid yourself if he/she wants to play soccer and on what team and contact the right parents/company to sign up and pay?  It's not rocket science to figure this stuff out.  Unless your kid is under 5, they are likely to be able to give you enough info for you to do this on your own.  [/quote]

It's been ordered by a judge to supply receipts in the cases I know of. No receipt no money. Child support pays for clothes.  Dad can take the child shopping.

In lieu of receipts the ex needed to provide all registration information and dad would pay his half directly.

One mom was also told dad would pay X amount per year for activities. Anything over that was on her. The amount was half of what the judge deemed a reasonable amount based on the child's interests.[/quote]

Dad can take a child shopping but its not deducted from his child support.  We bought/sent the kid lots of clothing as mom wasn't buying much (she'd buy to compete with us and trash our stuff so it was a win for the kid) and we got no deductions.  It was considered a "gift."

There are all kinds of child support arrangements depending on time shares, etc.  There are some situations where parents have equal time share and income and then they do a split, which is reasonable.  My husband tried to pay activities directly (above the child support as she refused to let the kid play if it came out of child support) and she refused demanding a check  to her (he offered to send it to the school) and refused to send the registration information (I'm assuming she never intended for him to play and it was another way to blame dad as to why he couldn't play).[/quote]
