Child support is for the essential needs of the child (food, shelter, clothing, health insurance coverage, work-related childcare if applicable, some educational fees, etc - it's all noted on the damn child support calculator form) and does NOT include things like Christmas presents, full stop. Your ex is an absolute jacka$$.

Child support includes everything including presents.  It is his portion of the expenses I. Your home.  Stop pretending Itis your income when it’s not.  [/quote]

Child support covers all needs from the paying parent. Both parents need to contribute. [/quote]

Only if the paying parent has 0 overnights.  Otherwise child support covers a portion.

But Christmas gifts aren’t needs, and both parents should purchase what they feel comfortable with the child getting from them, not claim that the gifts the other parent bought are somehow from them.

In this case though the custodial parent had the higher income, so child support is not the primary source of income for the household.[/quote]

Custody does not matter.  Child support covers everything in that home.  Dad still has his own expenses.   It’s from both parents.  [/quote]
