I see. Well, I can only speak to what the guidelines and laws say about these things. The way the guidelines work for parents not sharing time equally is that the parent who receives support is in charge of everything. That includes all indirect and direct expenses. The parenting time adjustment could potentially be argued in this case, but technically there is nothing in the guidelines that says receipt of a parenting time adjustment relieves the residential parent of their duty to provide everything.
If the court found that you were not providing all the needed expenses, it's possible they could award him a further reduction in support to compensate. If the court found he is required to provide all this, he would simply be ordered to provide it from here on out.
Personally, I think I would just provide it to keep the peace and avoid the conflict. Its not a large expense and I think the court could maybe see it either way. Its a coin toss. This kind of issue will subside in time as most cases show.
