i am curious as to how many single dads out there not only pay child support but also help out in other expenses like sports, ballet wear, club fees for these sports, shoes and school clothes. my ex is just now buying stuff for the kids but it's like a package of underwear and one outfit for their birthday. AND he wont let them take these things home. i asked him to help with the extras he said no that he pays child support and that is enough. it is support, to support these kids in basic life. the extras, is extras. think about it, he pays about $500 a month in support (this is not actual amount,just an example) and that is "his part". and i MATCH that plus provide shelter, clothes, electric,water,medicine, school supplies, birthday parties, ballet lessons, karate lessons, ballet outfits, karate outfits, new shoes about every 6 months ...the list goes on! and we are "co" parents!?!? i raise our children, he "babysits"every other weekend. is this normal single dad behavior?
