Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
My brother pays approximately $400 a week in child support for his 2 children. His ex-wife regularly asks him to pay for other things, such as winter coats and boots or school supplies. She is remarried and has 2 additional children. Does she have to show that she is using the money to take care of my niece and nephew, or is she free to accommodate her new family with money my brother is providing?

Your brother is not required to pay anything more than the court ordered child support. His ex-wife is not required to account for her use of child support money.
