support payments are rarely 1/2 of the cost of raising a child. Support is generally a simple mathmatically determined amount based on the NCP's income.
and do we not raise our children based on our INCOME? so yes, between dad AND mom, the childs needs in thier income bracket should be being met.
Can;t you imagin a child getting caught in the rain, playing in the mud, spilling food on themselves? I can;t imagine limiting my child to one change of clothes over a weekend.
than mom should pack some clothes and/or dad can use his washing machine
True, but they are not the OP's children when they are visitors and there is absolutley no legal or moral obligation to provide support to them, as it is with their own children.
you make absolutely NO sense, what do you mean they are not the op's children?. The NCP provides for his kids by paying support, you are infering alot here by the OP's question of whether or not she is legally obligated to provide a change of clothes when her kids visit thier dads house...
I'm sorry but unless OP or dad comes back and states dad is impoverished, I see this as dad attempting to manipulate mom.
How? it is MOM who wants to know if she has to give dad clothes for a weekend.
Having the child pack clothes, to me, would make the children feel as if they are visiting somebody rather than getting to be with their father, in their second home. It is simply a matter of bringing everything with them makes them feel as if they do not belong there. Maybe that is what dad wants them to feel.
again mom did NOT state that dad started this one, she asked if she had to pack a bag. If dad was sending the kids stuff BACK, then you might have a case, but dad requested, at her thought that she didn't pack clothes that she provide some for him to KEEP. So that kind of blows your argument out of the water.
