I dont think there is any right or wrong, however, I totally understand this. In theory, if you are paying CMS then what exactly are you paying for anything else for? though naturally you want to provide things for your children. It is in fact paying twice, CMS is high and then buying clothes on top of that that should come out of the cMS. When I was together with the ex, I didnt pay nearly that much on the upkeep of the children per month!
