The money is supposed to cover your portion of providing for the child. They should not be asking for additional money for clothes, extracurricular activities or other non-necessities. You are likely to be also ordered to pay a portion of uncovered medical and other similar expenses, though.

It covers the basic expenses for the child, housing, utilities food....etc. The custodial parent is under no obligation to justify their use of the funds.
