You shouldn't confront them and if that doesn't work the take the kids your paying for them

A friend of mine broke up from her husband, he never paid for her 3 kids either. He had them 2 days a week after school and 1 night at the weekend. He fought her for 1 childs family allowance to support the time he had them - and he was awarded it. so Where is the logic in that.

the ex should be helping out with things like that. However, if you don't send the kids with that stuff, they may try a legal end run to the court saying you don't provide for the children.
Sit down and have a chat with the ex and try to work out a compatible arrangement about these items. You might find the ex amenable to providing more.

You are not obligated to pay for anything. The only thing that you should think about,is are the kids going with out something needed while they are at the other parents house. If it is something that is a need, and he won't provide then, it is something that you should think about...because in all this mess remember that you don't want pettiness to effect the children. If he is plenty capable of buying things like diapers and milk--then make him--he will be the one suffering when they are crying and pooping in his house--if it is medicine or the like then make sure you send it with them.

Why isnt your ex paying???If he is being allowed such generous contact he should be paying maintenance, that makes me so angry, my ex doesnt pay for his child neither but then expects the world!!! technically whilst they are at yr ex's hes responsible for your kids needs etc, so why should you provide anything!!

If he is supposed to pay some type of child support then you need to file for contempt at your courthouse. I do not think there is any state that would allow for child visitation but no child support especially with the income he makes.

I'm going through the same thing with my ex. As far as I know tho, he/she is responsible for the child(ren)'s well-being as long as he/she/they are in his/her care which includes but is not limited to shelter, milk, nappies, clothes, and so on. This I feel is especially true if he is doing nothing financially for them. I wish you well in your situation.

Send the kids naked and let the ex clothe them for awhile. And get back to court for a better support order!

Legally you don't have to provide any necessities while they are living with someone else, however if you think he wont provide it you need to be the responsible one and do the right thing to make your kids comfortable while away from home
