While I agree that it might not be a big deal to pick up a second hand coat or clothing or whatever if I were you I would search and see if Iowa has any parenting guidelines. Look them over really good and see if this is addressed in them. That will tell you if the issue were to go to court if there's a high likelyhood that mom would be ordered to provide them. I know this isn't the same state, but... In Indiana it IS in their guidelines that the CP is to provide all appropriate clothing for the child while at the NCP's home and that the NCP is to return such clothing.
